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) Corporate flight management inc., flight 104, a bae jetstream 3201, serial no. 906, N487UE, enroute from kdca to kacy and landed on runway 22 kacy with smoke trailing from the left engine tail pipe. ARFF responded, the occupants were evacuated on the taxiway, the tail pipe fire was extinguished and the aircraft was towed to the ramp without incident. The captain initiated the evacuation because of the smoke and fire in the tail pipe of the left engine. Only the main cabin door was used, because only three passengers were onboard. No malfunctions were reported during the evacuation. The estimated time it took for the evacuation was just under one minute and no injuries were reported.
