Narrative:

I was climbing through 10000 ft when I noticed a split on the fuel flow gauges. They had been fine up to 10000 ft. When I leveled off at 13000, the engine began to lack fire (right) and the autoplt began to be erratic because of the engine surging. After altitude and heading deviation, I got the aircraft under control and the engine shut down. I then flew to clt and shot the ILS to 18L and landed safely. I did ask for the crash crew. I was able to hold altitude and heading and shot a good ILS with one engine. I think good maintenance on any aircraft is essential as good pilots. One thing that helped is that when everything was going bad, I remembered to fly the aircraft first, then work on the problem.

Title: A CPR SMA TWIN HAD AN ENG FAILURE ON ONE ENG AND LANDED SAFELY.

Narrative: I WAS CLBING THROUGH 10000 FT WHEN I NOTICED A SPLIT ON THE FUEL FLOW GAUGES. THEY HAD BEEN FINE UP TO 10000 FT. WHEN I LEVELED OFF AT 13000, THE ENG BEGAN TO LACK FIRE (R) AND THE AUTOPLT BEGAN TO BE ERRATIC BECAUSE OF THE ENG SURGING. AFTER ALT AND HDG DEV, I GOT THE ACFT UNDER CTL AND THE ENG SHUT DOWN. I THEN FLEW TO CLT AND SHOT THE ILS TO 18L AND LANDED SAFELY. I DID ASK FOR THE CRASH CREW. I WAS ABLE TO HOLD ALT AND HDG AND SHOT A GOOD ILS WITH ONE ENG. I THINK GOOD MAINT ON ANY ACFT IS ESSENTIAL AS GOOD PLTS. ONE THING THAT HELPED IS THAT WHEN EVERYTHING WAS GOING BAD, I REMEMBERED TO FLY THE ACFT FIRST, THEN WORK ON THE PROBLEM.
