What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on 3-21-94, at approximately 2027 CST, a Beech C55 baron, operated by agamemnon operating, inc., dba cirrusair, departed Dallas Love Field as "night star iii" on runway 18. Immediately after gear retraction, the nose of the aircraft momentarily yawed to the left. However, all engine instruments still indicated normal. A southwest airlines flight crew reported that one of the baron's engines was smoking badly, so the pilot elected to return to Love field. The aircraft landed without further incident on runway 31L at approximately 2033CST. After the aircraft was towed to maintenance, it was determined that the cylinder head had separated from the #1 cylinder on the left engine. This incident is closed with this report.
