From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Engine was then boroscoped and both bleed valves removed for examination. A small piece of debris was found in the outboard (high pressure) bleed valve air jet. Debris was removed and sent for analysis. Cleaned both bleed valves and installed. Ground run and ops check for power output and leaks ok. Flight check to altitude. Do not know origin of debris.
