## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE JUST AFTER TAKE OFF AND SUBSEQUENT ENGINE FIRE JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN. FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY CMA AIRPORT SECURITY. CAUSE OF TIRE WAS DETERMINED TO BE FUEL FROM MISSING CARBURETOR FLOAT BOWL DRAIN PLUG. M OR D HAS BEEN GENERATED BY CAMARILLO AIRCRAFT 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.
