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.

Engine power was reduced to idle and a return to Salt Lake City was initiated. Maintenance removed the engine and found that one low pressure turbine blade tip shroud had separated from the blade. The engine was shipped to Garrett aviation services in long beach, CA. Where the engine was inspected for damage and blade replaced. The engine was returned to service.
