## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT DIVERTED TO MCI WHEN IT WAS NOTICED THAT SEVERAL SCREWS WERE MISSING ON A PANEL ON THE LEFT HAND ENGINE, TOP PYLON FAIRING. AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. CONTRACT MAINTENANCE REPLACED 10 SCREWS. AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. THIS INCIDENT, CE98IGO0035 IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
