Narrative:

Flight from gpt-iah local time XA12. Climbing out of 8500-9000 ft, noticed that #2 engine was not producing climb power. Moved power level up some but no response from the engine. Noticed fuel flow went from 600 psi to 1000 psi. Torque wouldn't go over 60 percent, oil pressure and oil temperature. Looked normal. Inter-stage turbine temperature (itt) was showing 649 level off 12000 ft. Set torque to 40 percent on #2 engine deselect ecu. Nothing happened, no loss or gain of power. Put ecu back on, nothing happened. Turned back to gpt. We got ecu fault. Deselected ecu. Torque dropped to '0.' itt showed 460. Oil pressure and temperature still normal. Did a precautionary engine shutdown. Landed in gpt with no problem. I feel that the training I received made a big difference in handling this problem.

Title: INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN AFTER ACFT EQUIP PROB MALFUNCTION BECOMES EVIDENT.

Narrative: FLT FROM GPT-IAH LCL TIME XA12. CLBING OUT OF 8500-9000 FT, NOTICED THAT #2 ENG WAS NOT PRODUCING CLB PWR. MOVED PWR LEVEL UP SOME BUT NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENG. NOTICED FUEL FLOW WENT FROM 600 PSI TO 1000 PSI. TORQUE WOULDN'T GO OVER 60 PERCENT, OIL PRESSURE AND OIL TEMP. LOOKED NORMAL. INTER-STAGE TURBINE TEMPERATURE (ITT) WAS SHOWING 649 LEVEL OFF 12000 FT. SET TORQUE TO 40 PERCENT ON #2 ENG DESELECT ECU. NOTHING HAPPENED, NO LOSS OR GAIN OF PWR. PUT ECU BACK ON, NOTHING HAPPENED. TURNED BACK TO GPT. WE GOT ECU FAULT. DESELECTED ECU. TORQUE DROPPED TO '0.' ITT SHOWED 460. OIL PRESSURE AND TEMP STILL NORMAL. DID A PRECAUTIONARY ENG SHUTDOWN. LANDED IN GPT WITH NO PROB. I FEEL THAT THE TRAINING I RECEIVED MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HANDLING THIS PROB.
