From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: after departing wrangell (wrg) and climbing through 2000 feet, the number 2 engine overheat light came on. The throttle was retarded and the light went out. Shortly after this (10 seconds), the start valve light on number 2 came on. Because of the dual problem, the crew elected to do the severe damage procedure and shut down the engine. The crew elected to proceed to Ketchikan (ktn) because of the more favorable weather and available approach. The aircraft landed at Ketchikan without further mishap. Upon inspection by maintenance personnel, the open cowl inspection of #2 engine revealed: 13th stage anti-ice duct burst open at "y". Outboard cowl sustained buckled skin and pull rivets on 18" of adjaceant area. Replaced outbaord cowl and 13th stage anti-ice duct. Removed and installed starter and start valve.
