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.

C. power was retarded and the itt stabilized around 750 deg. C. air turned back to Denver with engine stabilized except for oil pressure which had fallen to 70 PSI. Two to three minutes later the engine began to sputter and itt was increasing. Engine shutdown procedures were initiated and shutdown was normal. An uneventful single engine landing was made in den on runway 17L. No external damage to the engine, engine cowl or airframe.

The defective engine has been shipped out for evaluation and repair.
