	7300 Brataas Dr SW 
	Rochester, MN 55902

Type: King Air C-90
Tail #: N977AA

Weather: Clear. Not a factor

Team: Pilot, First Officer, RN, and Paramedic. No injuries reported. Patient on board. 

Description: 
	Located at 70 South West of KSUE (Sturgeon Bay, WI) the aircraft was
	in cruise flight at 19,000 feet just prior to decent into KSUE when
	the right engine began to loose power. The captain followed company
	procedures and completed the procedures for a precautionary engine
	shutdown. The flight crew notified ATC (air traffic control) of their
	intention to divert to KGRB (Green Bay, WI) which was the closest
	appropriate airport with CFR (crash fire & rescue) equipment to
	standby, and accommodate the patient's medical needs. The crew
	advised the AirMed operations center in Birmingham during descent of
	their maintenance status and requested a road ambulance meet the
	aircraft upon arrival in KGRB. The single engine approach and landing
	was completed and the patient was transported by ground accompanied by
	the medical team to Sturgeon Bay. An AirMed Cessna Citation II was
	dispatched from its KRST Rochester base within the hour to return the
	flight and medical crew to base in KRST.
