## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT'S STATEMENT: MARCH 20, 2005 I WAS FLYING BACK FROM NORTH ELEUTHERA. WHEN I WAS TWENTY MILES SOUTHEAST OF PALM BEACH MY ENGINE STOPPED. I WENT THROUGH ALL THE PROCEDURES TO SECURE THE ENGINE. I MAINTAINED FULL CONTROL OF THE SITUATION AND RADIOED PBI TO LET THEM KNOW THE PLANE'S LEFT ENGINE STOPPED. AT THAT TIME I HAD THREE PASSENGERS ON BOARD, WE LANDED SAFELY ON RUNWAY 31 WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENTS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS N3836C, AN AC500.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
