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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Engine failed in flight as a result of an engine driven fuel pump failure. The failure of the pump blocked the fuel outlet port preventing the electric fuel pump from maintaining fuel to the engine. Aco and mido notified of the issues with the pump and submitted recommendation for accident prevention to AAI-200 in accordance with order 8020.11B.
