THE LEFT ENGINE WAS GROUND TESTED ON NOVEMBER 16, 1995 AND AGAIN ON THE MORNING OF NOVEMBER 17, 1995. THE OPERATOR DECIDED TO FLY THE AIRCRAFT TO THE MAINTENANCE BASE AT STL.

THIS INCIDENT IS 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.
