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) On 3-15-1999 at approximately 0710, southwest airlines flight 212 a Boeing 737-300, aborted its take-off. This was due to a throttle split and number 1 engine N1 indicating in the red zone. Southwest airlines contacted contract aviation maintenance (cam) to provide maintenance assistance. Cam inspected the PT-2 sensors for ice and debris. None was noted. The sensor was wiped off as a precaution. Cam then proceeded to do an engine run and recorded all findings. The original fault could not be duplicated. The engine parameters were documented on SAM-625 form, and the recorded parameters were evaluated by southwest engineering. The parameters were determined to be within normal operating conditions. The aircraft was dispatched without further delay. Incident #CE99IAC0038 is considered closed with the filing of this report.
