## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 2001, AT 1434 LOCAL TIME, A CANADAIR REGIONAL JET, N640BR, S/N 7340, OPERATED BY ATLANTIC COAST AIRLINES (VTZA) EXPERIENCED AN APU OVER-TEMP CAUTION LIGHT IN FLIGHT. THE CREW COMPLIED WITH THE QRH AND DIVERTED TO THE BUFFALO NIAGARA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (BUF) AND LANDED ON RUNWAY 23. THE ARFF RESPONDED AND THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED TO THE RAMP WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL INSPECTED THE OIL COOLER AND FOUND IT DIRTY. THEY ALSO CLEANED THE APU OVER-TEMP SENSOR AND DID A GROUND OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE APU. THE CHECK WAS GOOD AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
