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.

What happened

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

(-5) EA-07 was notified that an egyptian C-130 aircraft had landed at bwi with engine parts missing. Inspectors john michelli and kevin white were sent to investigate. An interview with the crew determined that while climbing through 14,500 feet en route to bermuda, the crew noticed vibration for about seven (7) to ten (10) seconds. After this, warning lights, indicating a failed number one (1) engine, started to illuminate. The crew performed their checklist procedures and then looked out the window. At this time, they noticed that the number one (1) propeller had departed the aircraft. An examination of the aircraft determined the following: 1. The number one (1) propeller and part of the reduction gear box had departed from the aircraft. 2. There was a large dent and crease in the left external fuel tank. 3. The top of the vertical stabilizer had departed from the aircraft. Jim greenly of the atlaco was notified of our findings. Bob henley of AAI-100 was conducting an on site evaluation at the area where the propeller was found.
