## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: TWENTY MINUTES INTO FLIGHT, THE NO. 1 ENGINE FLAMED OUT. UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENGINE LANDING WAS MADE. MAINTENANCE INVESTIGATION REVEALED INTERNAL SPLINE FAILURE OF PUMP AND COUPLING DRIVE.

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.
