2010-10 · NASA ASRS report 913097
Following loud noises and an ITT overtemp of the right engine an SF340 Flight Crew shut the engine down; declared an emergency and diverted for an uneventful landing at the nearest suitable airport.
We were cleared to descend from 16;000 to 11;000 FT. While descending through 15;000 FT I pulled the power levers back for the descent. At that time the right engine ignition light illuminated; followed by loud popping noises; a rapid rise in ITT through 965 degrees C was observed and the right engine over temp light illuminated. I immediately shut down the right engine; had the First Officer declare an emergency; and requested to land at ZZZ which was our nearest suitable airport. I then requested and complied with the Engine Shutdown QRH for the right engine.While being vectored for the approach we ran the Descent; Approach; and Before landing checklists. A normal landing was performed followed by a normal taxi to the ramp; we were marshaled to a parking spot and shutdown the aircraft. Upon parking we were met by emergency; ramp and station personnel. While I was communicating with operations; all passengers disembarked the aircraft normally and were assisted by the on duty Station Manager. No passengers or crew were injured as a result of this event.
We advised emergency services that no further assistance was required; and then secured the aircraft.
