Narrative:
On a ferry flight from M39 to cvg at FL230 in clear air, the left engine quit. The electronic engine control went to manual from takeoff (normal position). All engine instruments indicated a flameout condition. The engine was secured using the precautionary engine shutdown procedure. WX at intermediate airports was below or at minimums. We continued to cvg and landed with no further problems.
