## Narrative

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

(-23) ON NOVEMBER 21, 2003, AT FL 41, AT 13:00 CST, WHILE EN ROUTE FROM MISSOULA, MONTANA, TO ST. JOSEPH, MISSOURI, LEAR JET N45NP HAD A FIRE WARNING INDICATION ON L/H ENGINE. CREW NOTIFIED DENVER CENTER AND THEN ACCOMPLISHED ALL THE ENGINE FIRE PROCEDURES. NO OTHER INDICATIONS WERE NOTED AT THIS TIME SUCH AS HIGH OIL TEMP OR ITT BUT ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND BOTH FIRE BOTTLES WERE FIRED. THE AIRCRAFT DIVERTED TO GRAND ISLAN, NE, AND AT 5000 MSL FIRE WARNING LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE CREW LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT ON ONE ENGINE. AFTER LANDING THE CREW INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE, THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF A FIRE BEING PRESENT. AIRCRAFT WAS ON A FAR 91 FLIGHT. MECHANICAL RELIABILITY REPORT (MMR) WAS FILED WITH THE CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT OFFICE ON DECEMBER 2, 2003.

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.
