## Narrative

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

AFTER TAKING OFF FROM THE GREATER BUFFALO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, BUFFALO, NY, THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH. HE DIVERTED TO SYRACUSE, LANDED AND WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE RUNWAY BEFORE THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE ARFF RESPONDED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO THE RAMP WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS AND NO INJURIES INCURRED. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL FROM LANDCARE AVIATION, ORISKANY NY, WERE DISPATCHED TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE LYCOMING MODEL O-320-D2J ENGINE. THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED BETWEEN MAY 13 AND MAY 16, 2002. THE NEW ENGINE WAS GROUND RUN, OPERATIONS CHECKED SATISFACTORY, RETURNED TO SERVICE AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS FLOWN TO ORISKANY, NY.

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.
