## Narrative

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

(-23) ON JULY 13, 2004, AIRCRAFT N421MD, CE-421A DEPARTED MACCARRAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS PILOTED BY MARVIN RAY GRIMMET (ATP CERT. # 2384633). ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, AS HE APPROACHED 12,000 FEET THE RIGHT ENGINE STARTED TO QUIT AS IF IT HAD FUEL STARVATION. HE SWITCHED FUEL TANKS AND TURNED THE LOW FUEL PUMP ON BUT TO NO AVAIL. HE ADJUSTED THE FUEL MIXTURE FORWARD, HOWEVER THE ENGINE WANTED TO QUIT. HE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED TO NEARLY ZERO AND THE MANIFOLD PRESSURE TO 12"-15". HE THEN FEATHERED THE ENGINE AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED UNEVENTFUL WITH THE RIGHT ENGINE OUT AT HENDERSON AIRPORT AT ABOUT 2005.

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.
