## Narrative

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

(-23)ON 4-29-01, CHQA FLIGHT 4423, HAD A LEFT FIRE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATE ON FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 32 AT PIT. THE LEFT ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN, AND AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS MADE AS PER AFM.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE LEFT ENGINE FIRE LOOP WAS BADLY CHAFED AND CAUSED A FALSE FIRE WARNING.  THIS FIRE LOOP WAS REPLACED, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PASSENGERS OR CREW.  SUBMISSION OF THIS REPORT CLOSES THIS INCIDENT.

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.
