What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: crew reported that ATC had advised them that there was smoke coming from the left engine just after takeoff. An emergency was declared and the aircraft made an uneventful landing at 2110Z. Pilot indicated that left engine was shut down at 200 feet after ATC advised them that the smoke appeared to have increased. When fire department made it to the aircraft after rollout, they noticed fuel running out of the left engine cowl and advised the pilot. The pilot reported that he shut off the fuel pumps and fuel flowing from the cowling diminished. The aircraft taxied to the gate with the right engine. Contract maintenance examined the left engine and found the fuel line from the fuel filter to the fuel pump had ruptured just above the governor. The fuel line was marked as aeroquip-uka AE709623-1 1021597 PT12-94 U2569, s/n 533. Another line with same p/n was installed as serviceable used from ata. The replacement line had a serviceable part tag and had been removed from service on 7/2/97. (Ref. Aw e.o. 73-15-13). Discrepancy and corrective action were entered on a/c log sheet #7063820. Subsequent investigation revealed that rolls royce mandatory service bulletin rb. 211-73-B987 requires inspection of this hose every 500 hours after 1600 hours time in service. The serviceable parts tag for the hose installed did not indicate time in service of the hose and the log entry made for installation did not indicate that this inspection had been accomplished.
