## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS REPOSITIONING THE AIRCRAFT TO THE MAINTENANCE FACIILITY FOR ROUTINE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. AFTER TAKE-OFF AND DURING THE CLIMB-OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET THE PILOT NOTICED THE MASTER CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  ON THE CAD HE NOTICED THE "FUEL PRESSURE" AND "FUEL VALVE" LIGHTS FOR THE #1 ENGINE.  ANTICIPATING AN ENGINE FLAMEOUT, HE REDUCED POWER.  AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS, THE #1 ENGINE FAILED.  THE PILOT FOLLOWED HIS CHECKLIST, COMMUNICATED HIS PROBLEM WITH ATC, AND CONDUCTED AN UNEVENTFUL OEI RUN-ON LANDING AT THE LOCAL AIRPORT.

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.
