## Narrative

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

(-23) N561GR DEPARTED RUNWAY 28R. PART OF THE LEFT ENGINE UPPER COWL SEPARATED AND STRUCK THE LEFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. RUNWAY 28R WAS CLOSED FOR DEBRIS REMOVAL/INSPECTION. PILOT WAS ADVISED BY ATC OF EJECTED COWLING. PILOT INITIALLY REQUESTED TO BURN FUEL PRIOR TO RETURN. PILOT THEN EXPERIENCED INCREASED VIBRATION AND ASKED FOR EXPEDITED HANDLING TO RETURN. N561GR WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 28L. AIRPORT RESCUE & FIRE FIGHTERS WERE NOTIFIED. FIRE VEHICLES FOLLOWING N561GR OBSERVED DEBRIS FALLING ON 28L. N561GR TAXIED CLEAR UNDER OWN POWER AND 28L WAS CLOSED FOR DEBRIS REMOVAL/INSPECTION. RUNWAY CLOSURES CAUSED MINOR NON-REPORTABLE DELAYS TO VFR/IFR ARRIVALS. AIRCRAFT DAMAGE WAS MINOR AND LIMITED TO LEFT ENGINE UPPER COWLING AND A DENT IN THE LEFT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER.

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.
