## Narrative

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

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, ENG P LIGHT ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY THE FIRE LIGHT 5 SECONDS LATER. SMOKE STARTED FILLING THE COCKPIT. THE PILOT INITIATED AN EMERGENCY DESCENT, AND A POWER-ON LANDING WAS MADE. AIRCRAFT WAS SHUTDOWN USING FFCL AND THE FUEL SHUT-OFF LEVER. THE PILOT THEN EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. A ENGINE FIRE AND SMOKE WERE CONFIRMED AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AFTER EVACUATION. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE LOCAL FIRE

DEPARTMENT AND WAS LIMITED TO THE GENERAL AREA OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS AIRCRAFT REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION.

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.
