Narrative:

Captain, first officer on IFR flight plan. A ferry flight with no passenger. After a visual approach clearance was given. Engines were brought to flight idle. The right engine was producing excessive torque and fuel flow. The right engine was shut down as a precaution for symmetrical landing. All appropriate abnormal checklist were performed and the plane was configured for a single engine visual approach and landing. The captain requested the emergency equipment to be standing by. An appropriate entry was made in the aircraft aml. Approach control and tower controllers were quite efficient!
