Narrative:

While on approach to landing we had power loss to the left engine. However, the left torque was showing full power. I tried controling the power by advancing and reducing the left power lever. As this had no effect, and having no control over the engine, I shut it down. As we were landing on runway 4L at bos we had to land long to avoid the jet blast of aircraft departing runway 09. This long landing with 1 engine out may have contributed to my hitting the brakes hard and blowing the main tires. I found out later that upon landing my first officer was working the rudders also. He may have accidentally applied brake pressure. There was no damage to the aircraft, except for the tires, and no injuries to the passenger.

Title: COMMUTER SMT LOST AN ENGINE DURING APCH, LANDED LONG AND BLEW THE MAIN GEAR TIRES.

Narrative: WHILE ON APCH TO LNDG WE HAD PWR LOSS TO THE LEFT ENG. HOWEVER, THE LEFT TORQUE WAS SHOWING FULL PWR. I TRIED CTLING THE PWR BY ADVANCING AND REDUCING THE LEFT PWR LEVER. AS THIS HAD NO EFFECT, AND HAVING NO CTL OVER THE ENG, I SHUT IT DOWN. AS WE WERE LNDG ON RWY 4L AT BOS WE HAD TO LAND LONG TO AVOID THE JET BLAST OF ACFT DEPARTING RWY 09. THIS LONG LNDG WITH 1 ENG OUT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MY HITTING THE BRAKES HARD AND BLOWING THE MAIN TIRES. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT UPON LNDG MY F/O WAS WORKING THE RUDDERS ALSO. HE MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY APPLIED BRAKE PRESSURE. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE ACFT, EXCEPT FOR THE TIRES, AND NO INJURIES TO THE PAX.
