## Narrative

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

A NUT CAME OFF THE ACCESSORY DRIVE ON THE RIGHT ENGINE. THE TOWER SHAFT MOVED. THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN. THE SHAFT AND ACCESSORIES WERE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.

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.
