## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING CLIMB OUT FROM SXQ PILOT NOTICED THAT CAPTAINS PNEUMATIC INSTRUMENTS WERE NOT WORKING. PILOT CHECKED CO-PILOT PNEUMATIC INSTRUMENTS AND FOUND THAT THOSE PNEUMATIC INSTRUMENTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING EITHER. PILOT DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED AT SXQ WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THAT EACH ENGINE PNEUMATIC PUMP HAD FAILED.

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.
