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.
(-23) During cruise flight the number 1 engine lost power, the engine RPM rolled back to 40%. The crew diverted to Springfield, MO. Where it was determined the P3 line, an internal engine pressure sense line, was found cracked. The cracked lines gave erroneous information to the fuel control causing the fuel control to operate the engine at 40%. The line was replaced and the flight continued without further incident.
