Angry PT6's that let go....

Last week I had a PT6-27 failure, well more of a very quick precautionary shutdown.

Essentially the FCU let go (we did not know at the time, we thought it was a governor failure) we had a massive increase in TQ through red line, but within acceleration limits.

It was un commanded and uncontrolled so we had to shut it down.


Now I have heard of FCU's that have had scheduling problems but never one that just let go.
We believe that the spline let go and are awaiting a report from Pratt.

Has anybody else had this happen ?????

Just curious.
