Narrative:

At cruise, level at FL390, N1 on the #1 (left) engine decreased rapidly while the respective itt rose significantly. After those indications, the captain called for engine shutdown and to advise ATC of our problem. When I notified ATC, I asked for the nearest airport and its distance. I was asked if I wanted to declare an emergency, but at the captain's request, I replied with a negative answer. ATC cleared us to FL240 then asked if we wanted a clearance to medford. After reviewing the airport facilities for appropriate runway length and lighting, I accepted a direct clearance to medford. Clearance down to 10000 ft and for the visual runway 32 was given and accepted. When communicating with medford tower, I requested to have rescue standing by. The landing was made without any problems. Though I never requested an emergency priority, ATC was able to give us an immediate descent and clearance to an airport.

AFTER THOSE INDICATIONS, THE CAPT CALLED FOR ENG SHUTDOWN AND TO ADVISE ATC OF OUR PROB. WHEN I NOTIFIED ATC, I ASKED FOR THE NEAREST ARPT AND ITS DISTANCE.

AFTER REVIEWING THE ARPT FACILITIES FOR APPROPRIATE RWY LENGTH AND LIGHTING, I ACCEPTED A DIRECT CLRNC TO MEDFORD. CLRNC DOWN TO 10000 FT AND FOR THE VISUAL RWY 32 WAS GIVEN AND ACCEPTED. WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH MEDFORD TWR, I REQUESTED TO HAVE RESCUE STANDING BY. THE LNDG WAS MADE WITHOUT ANY PROBS.
