## Narrative

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

(-23) ON TAKEOFF THE AUXILIARY POWER UNIT (APU) SILENCER DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT AND REMAINED ON RUNWAY 22R AT NEWARK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION HAS REVEALED THAT THIS PART WAS ONE OF SEVERAL SILENCERS PUT INTO SERVICE WITHOUT THE PROPER TESTS BEING PERFORMED. AS A RESULT, SEVERAL BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED. HAMILTON SANDSTRUM HAS ISSUED ASB-4503801-2, EMBRAER HAS ISSUED ALERT BULLETIN 145-49-A021, AND CONTINENTAL EXPRESS HAS ISSUED EA5330-01051.

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.
