A Jazz de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GJZD performing flight
QK-8375 from Calgary,AB to Fort McMurray,AB (Canada) with 62 passengers and 4 crew, was descending towards Fort McMurray when the crew heard a sound like an engine surge, a short time later they received a #1 Propeller Electronic Control (PEC) caution light, the left hand propeller speed had increased from 850 to 1060 rpm. The crew worked the propeller overspeed drill, the propeller feathered while the drill was completed. The crew therefore shut the #1 engine down, called PAN PAN and continued for a safe single engine landing at Fort McMurray.
The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the PEC and the propeller contol unit (PCU).
The aircraft returned to service on Sep 16th 2020.
