## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AFTER TAKEOFF, AT APPROXIMATELY 200' AGL, CREW REPORTED HEARING A LOUD BANG FROM THE NO.2 ENGINE FOLLOWED BY AN OVERTEMP WARNING. CREW SHUT THE NO.2 ENGINE DOWN AND PULLED THE FIRE T-HANDLE. THE TEMP WARNING WENT OUT SO THE CREW DID NOT DISCHARGE FIRE BOTTLES. THE CAPTAIN DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO OKC. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS ENDS THIS REPORT.

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.
