## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT HE DEPARTED SKYHARBOR AIRPORT AT APPROXIMATELY 6:00 PM ON JUNE 13, 2006, TO SPRAY 75 ACRES OF BEANS. DUE TO LOCAL RAIN SHOWERS HE WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE JOB; THEREFORE HE RETURNED TO SKYHARBOR. WHEN HE WAS ON SHORT FINAL APPROACH TO SKYHARBOR RUNWAY 24, DURING POWER REDUCTION, "THE ENGINE EXPLODED AND FIRE AND SHRAPNEL SHOT THROUGH THE ENGINE COWLINGS". THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE AIRPLANE INCURRED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE ON SCENE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS CONSUMED BY FIRE FROM THE PROPELLER AFT TO THE COCKPIT. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE BY THE INSPECTOR REVEALED THREE LARGE HOLES IN THE TURBINE SECTION WITH SEVERAL OF THE INTERNAL TURBINE COMPONENTS MISSING.
