## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING CRUISE FLIGHT THE RIGHT ENGINE QUIT. THE PILOT TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT COULD NOT GET IT GOING AGAIN SO HE SECURED IT AND FLEW INTO BETHEL WITH THE RIGHT ENGINE FEATHERED.

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.
