## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON NOVEMBER 21, 1996, NORTHWEST AIRLINK (DBA), FLAGSHIP 301, SAAB 340A, N403BH, AIRCRAFT DIVERTED TO LITTLE ROCK AS A PRECAUTIONARY SAFETY MEASURE DUE TO A SLIGHT FLUCTUATING IN OIL PRESSURE FROM THE RIGHT ENGINE. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AIRCRAFT AND FOUND NO OTHER DISCREPANCIES, AIRCRAFT WAS PLACED ON ENGINE MONITORING AND THEN RELEASED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE ABOVE AIRCRAFT THEN DEPARTED FOR MEMPHIS AT 14:15.

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.
