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: on departure, right engine fire light came on and right engine oil pressure indicator went to "0" p.s.I. Flight crew shutdown right engine, and declared an emergency. Aircraft returned to hou, landing without incident. Subsequent investigation revealed a broken 13th stage bleed duct at top of right engine. Escaping hot air burned the wire bundle causing erratic oil pressure reading. VMC prevailed at time of incident for this 121 flight. This report closes this incident.
