## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE RIGHT ENGINE HAD SEVERAL COMPRESSOR STALLS WHILE IN A HOLDING PATTERN OVER O'HARE INT. AFTER UNEVENTFUL LANDING THE GROUND MAINTENANCE CREW INDICATED THE RIGHT ENGINE HAD A BLEED VALVE MALFUNCTION. ON JANUARY 16, 1996, N126UE DEPARTED STQ ON A PART 135 FLIGHT TO ORD. WHILE IN A HOLDING PATTERN THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED SEVERAL COMPRESSOR STALLS OVER ORD. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING THE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION THAT THE BLEED VALVE WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE VALVE WAS REMOVED, REPLACED, AND THE VALVE SEAT CLASS WAS CHANGED FROM #2 TO #4. ENGINE & BLEED VALVE OPS CHECKED GOOD DURING ENGINE RUN.

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.
