(-23) PILOT INDICATED THAT HE NOTICED A REDUCTION IN POWER FROM THE LEFT ENGINE APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES OUT FOR KRYY. LEFT ENGINE STARTED TO SPUTTER ON SHORT FINAL. FLAMES WERE DETECTED AS A/C FLARED ON APPROACH TO LAND. A/C LANDED SAFELY, ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY FIRE AND RESCUE PERSONNEL ON THE RUNWAY.

INVESTIGATION OF ENGINE INDICATED NUMEROUS HOLES CAUSED BY INTERNAL COMPONENT DEGRADATION.

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.
