## Narrative

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

THIS LEG OF THE FLIGHT WAS CONDUCTED UNDER FAR PART 91 BY AIR DESERT PACIFIC, INC., AN AIR CARRIER CERTIFICATED UNDER FAR PART 135 (UDPA).  THE PILOT STATED HE WAS ON A RELOCATION FLIGHT FROM BRACKETT TO HENDERSON WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED.

IN CRUISE FLIGHT, JUST PAST DAGGETT, CA THE RIGHT ENGINE FAILED.  THE PILOT SECURED THE ENGINE AND DIVERTED TO DAGGETT AIRPORT (DAG).   THE PILOT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE FOR AIR DESERT PACIFIC STATED THAT INSPECTION REVEALED THE RIGHT MAGNETO HAD FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND ULTIMATELY FAIL.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE SOLE OCCCUPANT.

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.
