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 October 16, 1995, at 10:15 local time, a Lockheed L1011, N194AT registered to shawmut bank Connecticut, and operated by American trans air ind., a part 121 operator, departed Indianapolis, Indiana enroute to las vegas, Nevada. On takeoff number 3 engine fire warning light illuminated in cockpit. Number 3 engine was shut down, aircraft returned to Indianapolis (ind) without further incident. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and IFR flight plan was filed. No injuries or damage to the aircraft was sustained. Examination on the ground revealed that the 6 o'clock bore scope blanking plate was loose, allowing approximately 800 degree fahrenheit bleed air to blow across the fire sensing loop. American trans air mechanics replaced the blanking plug, helicoil, bolts and plate. This incident is considered closed.
