## Narrative

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

AFTER TAKE-OFF THE ABOVEMENTIONED AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO PALM SPRINGS REGIONAL AIRPORT. THIS TURN BACK WAS INITIATED DUE TO AN INSTRUMENT FIRE WARNING INDICATION ON NUMBER TWO ENGINE.  NUMBER ONE FIRE BOTTLE WAS ACTIVATED BY THE PILOT IN COMMAND TO EXTINGUISH FIRE, WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS.  NUMBER TWO FIRE BOTTLE WAS ALSO ACTIVATED WITH THE SAME RESULTS.  AFTER LANDING SAFELY, FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT A FIRE NEVER EXISTED AND THIS SITUATION WAS AN INDICATION PROBLEM ONLY.  MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT REPORTS WERE SUBMITTED BY GARRET AVIATION.

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.
