Narrative:
We were flying a scheduled commuter operation from dab to mia when engine #2 failed. We picked up the aircraft that morning from mia. On the flight from mia to dab, performed an engine trend monitoring check and engines had normal indications. Departed dab with 16 passenger and 20 bags. Climbed to 160000' and was on ATC assigned heading of 150 degrees just about to intercept the 019 degree radial from biscayne VOR when engine #2 failed in clear WX. The aircraft yawed to the right, corrected by adding left rudder, 5 degree bank to the left. Torque and RPM indications consistently dropped to 0 with oil, fuel, buss fail and master caution captions on the cap illuminating as rmp wound down through 40%. The engine did not nts nor automatic relight turn ignitors on. We secured engine #2 per SOP using emergency checklist. At that point in time the most suitable/closest airport was pbi. We advised ATC and our passenger the nature of our emergency and deviated to pbi, and made a safe landing there.

Title: TURBO PROP ENGINE FAILED AT 16000' IN CLIMB. ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND FLT LANDED NEAREST SUITABLE.
Narrative: WE WERE FLYING A SCHEDULED COMMUTER OPERATION FROM DAB TO MIA WHEN ENG #2 FAILED. WE PICKED UP THE ACFT THAT MORNING FROM MIA. ON THE FLT FROM MIA TO DAB, PERFORMED AN ENG TREND MONITORING CHK AND ENGS HAD NORMAL INDICATIONS. DEPARTED DAB WITH 16 PAX AND 20 BAGS. CLBED TO 160000' AND WAS ON ATC ASSIGNED HDG OF 150 DEGS JUST ABOUT TO INTERCEPT THE 019 DEG RADIAL FROM BISCAYNE VOR WHEN ENG #2 FAILED IN CLR WX. THE ACFT YAWED TO THE RIGHT, CORRECTED BY ADDING LEFT RUDDER, 5 DEG BANK TO THE LEFT. TORQUE AND RPM INDICATIONS CONSISTENTLY DROPPED TO 0 WITH OIL, FUEL, BUSS FAIL AND MASTER CAUTION CAPTIONS ON THE CAP ILLUMINATING AS RMP WOUND DOWN THROUGH 40%. THE ENG DID NOT NTS NOR AUTO RELIGHT TURN IGNITORS ON. WE SECURED ENG #2 PER SOP USING EMER CHKLIST. AT THAT POINT IN TIME THE MOST SUITABLE/CLOSEST ARPT WAS PBI. WE ADVISED ATC AND OUR PAX THE NATURE OF OUR EMER AND DEVIATED TO PBI, AND MADE A SAFE LNDG THERE.
