Abnormal engine readings led to a medevac flight transporting a patient making an unscheduled landing on Saturday, according to the airline operating the flight. Transwest president and CEO Derek Nice said the crew noticed strange readings coming from one of the two engines. "The crew decided to initiate the shutdown as a result of the readings that we were getting from the engine. So the engine is now being investigated by our maintenance," Nice said in an interview. Nice said he isn't sure how common precautionary engine shutdowns like this are in the industry but said they take an abundance of caution while in flight.
