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) A mechanic was trouble shooting an engine oil leak on the #2 engine while running at approximately 85-90% power. He was on the inboard side with the cowling open when he backed too close to the engine inlet and was drawn in lodging against the inlet guide vanes. The mechanic in the cockpit felt and heard the compressor stall and shut down the engine. The mechanic's headset, mouthpiece, badge, and hat were ingested into the engine fan section and first six stage of the compressor causing FOD damage.
