Narrative:

During initial climb out, 80% power was only available without exceeding maximum continuous power. Itt indication kept rising and crew kept reducing power. Finally, we notified ZAU we would have to return to pwk airport. Power was reduced all the way to idle and itt indication was 1012 degrees C (maximum continuous setting is 885 degrees C). Crew elected to shut down #1 engine. No other abnormal indications. Emergency shutdown checklist was completed and ATC was notified of our emergency status. Radar vectors to ILS runway 16 at pwk. Landed without incident. Maintenance action was initiated. Findings were inconclusive. Engine manufacturer was notified and erroneous indication/itt indication and sensors to blame. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that maintenance found the inlet turbine indicator at fault and after replacement the engine checked ok.

Title: A HAWKER 700 IN INITIAL CLB AT 12000 FT DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED DUE TO #1 ENG INLET TURBINE TEMP EXCEEDED.

Narrative: DURING INITIAL CLBOUT, 80% PWR WAS ONLY AVAILABLE WITHOUT EXCEEDING MAX CONTINUOUS PWR. ITT INDICATION KEPT RISING AND CREW KEPT REDUCING PWR. FINALLY, WE NOTIFIED ZAU WE WOULD HAVE TO RETURN TO PWK ARPT. PWR WAS REDUCED ALL THE WAY TO IDLE AND ITT INDICATION WAS 1012 DEGS C (MAX CONTINUOUS SETTING IS 885 DEGS C). CREW ELECTED TO SHUT DOWN #1 ENG. NO OTHER ABNORMAL INDICATIONS. EMER SHUTDOWN CHKLIST WAS COMPLETED AND ATC WAS NOTIFIED OF OUR EMER STATUS. RADAR VECTORS TO ILS RWY 16 AT PWK. LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINT ACTION WAS INITIATED. FINDINGS WERE INCONCLUSIVE. ENG MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ERRONEOUS INDICATION/ITT INDICATION AND SENSORS TO BLAME. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT MAINT FOUND THE INLET TURBINE INDICATOR AT FAULT AND AFTER REPLACEMENT THE ENG CHKED OK.
