## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON 10/16/95 AT APPROX. 1800 EDT, A BEECH BE-58 BEING OPERATED BY MR. JAMES LEVEN EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF ALL ELECTRICAL GENERATING CAPABILITY. THE AIRCRAFT HAD DEPARTED SYRACUSE, NY AT 1745 ON AN IFR FLIGHT TO NIAGARA FALLS, NY. DURING CLIMB THE PILOT NOTED THAT THE LEFT ALTERNATOR WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND A SHORT TIME LATER NOTED THE RIGHT ALTERNATOR HAD FAILED. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SYRACUSE AND LANDED IN VFR CONDITIONS WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE AND NO PERSON WAS INJURED. MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THAT THE LEFT VOLTAGE REGULATOR AND THE RIGHT ALTERNATOR WERE DEFECTIVE. THESE ITEMS WERE REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
