## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON OCTOBER 18, 1995 SIMMONS FLIGHT 4003 WAS ENROUTE FROM CHICAGO, IL (ORD) TO COLUMBUS, OH (CMH). DURING THIS FLIGHT THE CREW NOTICED THE LEFT ENGINE TORQUE VALUE DROP. THEY THEN NOTICED ALL LEFT ENGINE PARAMETERS WERE DECREASING. THE LEFT GENERATOR LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. THE CREW SECURED THE ENGINE, DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, AND LANDED AT FORT WAYNE, IN (FWA) WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. INSPECTION OF THE SECONDARY FUEL NOZZLE REVEALED A SPLIT "O" RING. IT WAS REPLACED I/A/W PRATT AND WHITNEY 12-0140. AN OPERATIONS AND LEAK CHECK WAS PERFORMED. THIS ACTION WAS REPORTED TO ENGINEERING. UPON RECEIVING THIS REPORT, ENGINEERING REQUESTED REPLACEMENT OF ALL THE "O" RINGS.

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.
