What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: on September 3, 1997 at 1630 EDT, an aero commander, GA-690-A, N333CA, departed from blue field, wva on an IFR flight plan to Buffalo, NY. At approximately 1755 EDT, just as he acknowledged clearance for a visual approach into Buffalo, the pilot noticed a rapid yaw and saw the left engine gages wind down. He was at 4,000 ft and between 5 and 7 miles southeast of Buffalo on the downwind leg of his approach. The pilot looked to see the left engine stop, he completed the engine shutdown, called in an emergency, and landed on runway 05 without further incident. There was no damage to the aircraft and no injuries to personnel onboard. After troubleshooting the engine, maintenance found that a gear in the nose case failed, which prevented the fuel pump from operating. The engine will be removed and replaced to accommodate repair. This incident is considered closed.
