## Narrative

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

SUBSEQUENT TO A NORMAL TAKEOFF, REACHING APPROXIMATELY 1000' AGL, THE CREW EXPERIENCES A LOUD BANG AS THE NUMBER TWO ENGINE GOES TO AUTOFEATHER AND APPEARS TO SEIZE IN FLIGHT.  AS THE TOWER THEN ADVISES THE CREW OF FLAMES OBSERVED FROM THE NUMBER TWO ENGINE, THE CAPTAIN ACTIVATES THE NUMBER TWO ENGINE FIRE SUPPRESSION, AND ENTERS THE DOWNWIND FOR AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENGINE LANDING.  THE AIRCRAFT EXITS THE RUNWAY, REMAINING POWER IS SHUT DOWN, AND THE CREW EXITED THE AIRCRAFT.  OTHER THAN MINOR INDICATIONS OF FIRE NEAR THE ENGINE EXHAUST AREA, THERE IS NO OTHER OBVIOUS SIGNS OF AN ENGINE FIRE.

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.
