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.
While flying level at 27000 feet at cruise power setting, the crew heard a growling noise, then several loud bangs. Then they noticed the right hand engine N1 was decreasing, the itt had maxed out and the N2 was reading zero. They proceeded to shutdown the right engine and performed a single engine landing into aln without incident.
