A Trans Capital Airlines de Havilland Dash DHC-7-100 on behalf of the United Nations, registration C-GTGO performing flight UN-657P from Belet Uen to Mogadishu (Somalia) with 14 people on board, was climbing through FL120 out of Belet Uen when the crew observed an abnormally high T5 temperature on engine #4 (outboard right hand, PT6A), which rose above normal temperatures together with a spike in the engine torque. When moving the power lever the crew did not receive any response by the engine and therefore decided to shut the engine down. The aircraft continued to Mogadishu for a safe landing.

The Canadian TSB reported maintenance replaced the FCU (Fuel Control Unit).
