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.
On 9/3/2013 ameriflight 2688 departed kphx and during climb out the "duct leak" light illuminated. The flight crew followed the orh procedures and returned to kphx safely.
The aircraft on 8/30/2013 experienced a similar event for a "duct light illuminating" during climb out.
Amerfiflight determined through troubleshooting that the l/h pressure regulator valve p/n 38E96-5A is failing internally causing the unrelieved pressure to blow the receiver off the bottom of the valve. The receiver is held on by a small adjustable clamp.
The air carrier has sent the suspect valve out for repair and an SDR & m or d have been completed.
