## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT REPORTED:  ON 01/03/2000, AT APPROX, 0345Z, I DEPARTED RNO AIRPORT.  TAKEOFF AND INITIAL CLIMBOUT WERE NORMAL.  WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH APPROX, 11000 FEET, I HEARD A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY A STRONG VIBRATION AND THE LEFT ENGINE FLAMED OUT AND SHUTDOWN ON IT'S OWN.  MY FIRST OFFICER INFORMED APPROACH CONTROL OF OUR ENGINE FAILURE AND WE WERE GIVEN VECTORS FOR VISUAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 16R.  MY FIRST OFFICER AND I WENT THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE CHECKLISTS AND OUR APPROACH AND LANDING WERE NORMAL.  WE TAXIED TO PARKING AND INFORMED OUR OFFICE.  A MECHANIC FROM BIZJET IN TULSA, OK WAS SENT OUT TO INSPECT AND REMOVE THE ENGINE.  HE TOLD ME THAT SOMETHING HAD LET GO IN THE CENTER OF THE ENGINE.

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.
