## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: EN-ROUTE BGR-BOS, AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED LEFT AC GENERATOR FAILURE. ON SHORT FINAL APPROACH INTO BOS, DURING LANDING FLARE, THE CREW HEARD A SOUND AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE LEFT ENGINE. AIRCRAFT LANDED AND STOPPED. CREW PERFORMED EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES PER CHECKLIST AND DISCHARGED BOTH FIRE BOTTLES INTO THE LEFT ENGINE. CREW PERFORMED EMERGENCY EVACUATION THROUGH RIGHT FORWARD EMERGENCY DOOR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THERE WAS NO SMOKE IN THE CABIN. 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.
