Pilot narrative
Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ,
X, Y.
At cruise flight we experienced a right engine failure. Immediate troubleshooting was begun. Using flows and backup with our checklist. CRM was used as one pilot was flying and the other was running checklist and working the radio. We were unable to restart the engine and proceeded to feather and secure the engine. We decided to continue our flight to ZZZZ where we know we had emergency personnel to assist as well as mechanics. After aircraft examination on the ground, it was determined that the engine shut down due to fuel starvation caused by a fuel line leak during flight. A thorough preflight and walk around was conducted prior to departure. Fuel sumps were drained and both tanks were verified full. Oil was withing engine acceptable level. A thorough run up was performed with no indication that the aircraft was unsafe.
