Maintenance disclosures
DURING DESCENT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES INTO KSAT, THE PILOT NOTICED THE LEFT ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE REGISTERED AT 90 DEGREE CREW THEN CONSULTED THE QRH. POWER LEVER WAS REDUCED TO FLIGHT IDLE AS INSTRUCTED BY QRH AND CONTINUED MONITORING THE OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE. APPROXIMATELY OVER 10 MILES AFTER FIRST INITIAL NOTIFICATION, THE LEFT OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEEDLE SPIKED ABOVE RED LINE AND STABILIZED OVER THE RED LINE AND OTHER ENGINES INDICATIONS ARE NORMAL. CREW PERFORMED MID-AIR PREPLANNED ENGINE SHUTDOWN AS INSTRUCTED BY QRH; CREW THEN INFORMED CENTER REGARDING THE PRECAUTIONARY ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND WOULD LIKE VECTORS TO RUNWAY 4 DECLINED TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY AS IT WAS NOT PRACTICAL SINCE THE AIRCRAFT COULD EASILY MAINTAIN ALTITUDE AND HEADING. THE PILOT PERFORMED THE SINGLE ENGINE DESCENT, APPROACH AND LANDING CHECKLIST VIA THE QRH AND SAFELY LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE LEFT ENGINE OIL TEMP SENDING UNIT (TEMP BULB) WAS DEFECTIVE. REPLACED THE LEFT ENGINE TEMP SENDING UNIT. GROUND RUN COMPLETED, OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE LEFT ENGINE OIL TEMP SYSTEM WAS NORMAL.
THIS FLIGHT WAS EN ROUTE FROM KDFW TO KPHX. AT CRUISE OVER THE AREA OF KMAF, THE PILOT NOTICES THE RIGHT FUEL QUALITY INDICATOR SLOWLY DECREASING FUEL QUANTITY FROM 1500 LBS. A SHORT TIME LATER IT STOPPED AT 500 LBS. APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES LATER THE FUEL QUANTITY DECREASES ANOTHER 150 LBS. AFTER ANALYZING THE SITUATION, THE PILOT DECIDED TO RETURN TO KDFW AS A PRECAUTION OF A SUSPECTED FUEL LEAK. ATC DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND THE LANDING WAS WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AIRCRAFT AND FOUND NO FUEL LEAK. A FUEL QUALITY CHECK WITH THE MAGNA STICKS CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR MALFUNCTION. MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND INSTALLED A SERVICEABLE RIGHT FUEL QTY HARNESS, PART NUMBER AMF32-82030-008.THEY ALSO REMOVED AND INSTALLED A SERVICEABLE RIGHT #2 FUEL PROBE, PART NUMBER PAA575-4. THE CALIBRATION OF THE FUEL INDICATOR WAS COMPLIED WITH. ALL CHECKS FOUND SATISFACTORY. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE AND NO ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON ANY SUBSEQUENT FLIGHT.
DURING CRUISE AT 16000 FT, THE PILOT GOT A R CHIP DETECT LIGHT. WHILE MONITORING THE ENGINE THE TORQUE INDICATION FLUCTUATED, AND THE ENGINE FAILED. DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND DIVERTED. REVIEW OF THE ENGINE TEAR DOWN REPORT REVEALED THAT THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE FORWARD HIGH SPEED PINON BEARING FAILURE.
EN ROUTE TO IDA THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE RIGHT ENGINE OIL TEMP WAS EXTREMELY HIGH READING AT THE RED LINE. THE PILOT PERFORMED A PRECAUTIONARY SHUT DOWN OF THE RIGHT ENGINE FOLLOWING THE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CHECKLIST. THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED AT IDA WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE RIGHT ENGINE AND FOUND THE OIL TEMP SENSOR WIRES SHORTING TO GROUND CAUSING A FALSE INDICATION OF HIGH OIL TEMP. THE OIL TEMP SENSOR WIRES WERE REPAIRED, THE OIL TEMP INDICATOR FUNCTIONED NORMALLY ON GROUND RUN UP.
