## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: WHILE CONDUCTING A 135.293/297 PROFICIENCY CHECK IN CESSNA N191C I NOTICED THAT THE PORT ENGINE LOST PARTIAL POWER ON INSTRUMENT APPROACHES. POWER WAS RESTORED WHEN THE MIXTURE WAS ADJUSTED TO A LEANER SETTING. UPON RETURNING TO WILLOW RUN, WE EXECUTED A NORMAL APPROACH AND LANDING. THE PORT ENGINE FAILED ON THE LANDING ROLL AND FUEL BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE ENGINE. WE OBSERVED A MIST FORMING AROUND THE PORT ENGINE AND THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PREDOMINATE. A DECISION WAS MADE TO IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE THE AIRCRAFT ON THE TAXIWAY AND EMERGENCY PERSONNEL WERE NOTIFIED OF OUR PROBLEM. AIRCRAFT FUEL LINE RUPTURED CAUSING FUEL LEAK.

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.
