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: twa flight #842, a Boeing 767-300 etops aircraft, enroute to milan, italy from new york's jfk airport, declared an emergency 50NM east of Bangor, Maine, with the right engine shutdown. The aircraft, two #16102, landed on runway 15 at Bangor International Airport (bgr) at 2128 hrs, with no injuries. Captain langley used minimal reverse thrust on the working left engine and heavy braking during the overweight landing.

The original twa crew and their passengers continued to milan with the aircraft. The crew write-up in the aircraft logbook was, first, right eec C-1 warning, second, right engine control warning and finally, crew was unable to control right engine surging so they secured the engine. Twa maintenance changed four tires, electronic fuel control computer, and the fuel control before ferrying aircraft to its maintenance base.
