## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 12/15/2005 THE APPROPRIATELY CERTIFICATED AND QUALIFIED FLIGHT CREW DEPARED SPI ON A FLIGHT TO BED. WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MSL THE PIC TURNED ON THE ENGINE ANTI-ICE, AND ABOUT 1 MINUTE LATER AT ABOUT 6,000 MSL THE CREW EXPERIENCED A LEFT ENGINE NACELLE OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT (FIRE WARNING). THE PIC REDUCED POWER ON THE LEFT ENGINE AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY TO SPI ATCT AND REQUESTED TO RETURN TO THE AIRPORT. THE PIC STATED AFTER REDUCING POWER, THE WARNING LIGHT EXTINGUISHED AND NEVER CAME BACK ON. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT AND LANDED AT 2057Z (1457CST) WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED TO THE RAMP AND THE CREW EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INJURY. INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT SHOWED NO DAMAGE.

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.
