What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On August 17, 1999, Mr. Gary jackson (PIC) of N38WA, was departing Corpus Christi International Airport when the aircraft exhibited a fire warning indication. After takeoff the aircraft's left engine generator light, oil chip light, and fire warning lights, illuminated. A visual of the left engine identified that there was no smoke emitting from that engine. Mr. Jackson started to commence a precautionary engine shut down when the same indications affected the right engine. Mr. Jackson notified crp ATC to advise them of his situation and request an emergency landing. He landed the aircraft without further incident, no fires, and no injuries. The aircraft was troubleshot and inspected by Mr. Ralph griffin, an FAA certificated a+p mechanic privacy data omitted who found a bleed air line separated at the joint in the tail section aft of the aft pressure bulk head. This failed bleed air line caused excessive high temperatures to damage an electrical wire bundle, thus causing false fire warniings at the engines. The bleed air line was replaced with the correct stainless steel line and wires repaired and all affected systems tested. No further discrepancies noted and the aircraft was returned to service. A review of the aircraft records by the mechanic identified that this similar discrepancy was duplicated in Mexico and repaired prior to the aircraft being imported in may 1999. A m or d was filed and the aircraft returned to service. This office considers this matter closed. ASI robert w. van loon
