## Narrative

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

(-23) MR. CAMPBELL FLEW HIS AIRCRAFT AFTER THE VACUUM PUMP WAS REMOVED FOR REPLACEMENT. THE MECHANIC (IA) WHO REMOVED THE PUMP THOUGHT MR. CAMPBELL COULD FLY THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT THE PUMP, SINCE THE SEAL WOULD HOLD. MR. CAMPBELL LOST ALL HIS OIL, BUT MADE IT BACK TO THE FIELD AS THE ENGINE SEIZED ON LANDING. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
