## Narrative

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

(-23)RIGHT TOP ENGINE COWL DEPARTED AIRCRAFT DURING FLIGHT. AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  ACTUAL NUMBER OF PAX ON BOARD IS UNKNOWN, HOWEVER THERE WERE NO INJURIES.   INVESTIGATION FOUND: ALASKA CARGO EXPRESS MECHANICS REPORTED THAT LATCHES FOR COWL WERE IN THE OPEN POSITION AFTER INSPECTING AIRCRAFT UPON  ARRIVAL IN ANCHORAGE. THIS INVESTIGATION WAS TURNED OVER TO THE FAIRBANKS FSDO (CERTIFICATE HOLDING OFFICE).

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.
