What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) During a commercial multiengine practical test including instrument, the DPE instructed the applicant, Mr. Han, to make a full stop landing at Stockton airport (sck). After landing on 29L, they taxied to the fuel island, and shut down the engines. After approximately 10 minutes, Mr. Han attempted to start the left engine with no success. Thinking the engine may still be hot, he attempted a hot start procedure with no success. To conserve battery power, he started the right engine. He let the left engine set, with throttle wide open, for approx. 5 minutes and then attempted to start the left engine using normal start procedures and at that point, noticed smoke emanating from under the top cowl. Stockton ground control was contacted, a fire truck was dispatched and extinguished the fire with foam. privacy data omitted
