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.

The part has been sent to the metallurgy department of the NTSB as it reportedly shows signs of fatigue. The part has a lifetime of 8500 hours and was within 10% of limiting out. The transport safety board of Canada has agreed to provide assistance to the NTSB in determining the cause of failure. Mr. Keenan provided that the part will undergo evaluation and dependent on the finding, may recommend to the manufacturer that a revision to maintenance procedures be implemented. # 2 engine compressor section exploded on takeoff roll pilot aborted take off just prior to lift off.
