What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot was making routine cargo run from phx to pan when he reached his cruise altitude (9000 ft/msl) he leaned the engines. Pilot stated, "as I made my descent the left engine died." Aircraft landed uneventfully at pan. Aero charter maintenance grounded the a/c and performed all required engine runs to check rigging and fuel flows, no defects were found with the l/h engine. Engine instruments (non-flt instrm'ts) were checked with master gauges inst'ld. All x-checks revealed all engine instruments were within limits. The problem could not be duplicated. The a/c was inspected, satisfactorily test flown, and returned to service. Possible engine failure due to over lean condition during descent but no conclusive evidence.
