## Narrative

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

ON 08/16/2016 PSA FLIGHT 5517, AIRCRAFT N216PS, PHL-DAY, REPORTED A BIRDSTRIKE TO THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THE LH ENGINE ON APPROACH INTO DAY. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SAFELY AND TAXIED TO THE GATE. THE NEXT AIRCRAFT LANDING REPORTED AN ENGINE COWLING ON THE RUNWAY. NO DAMAGE WAS REPORTED BY THE LANDING AIRCRAFT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE N216PS, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE LT ENGINE UPPER COWL WAS MISSING FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND THE LOWER NOSE ACCESS COWL WAS DAMAGED. THE UPPER COWL WAS RECOVERED FROM THE RUNWAY. FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT SHOWED NO EVIDENCE OF A BIRDSTRIKE ON OR IN THE LEFT ENGINE. A REVIEW OF THE LOGBOOK FOR N216PS SHOWS THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT ENGINE COWLS HAD BEEN REMOVED FOR MAINTENANCE THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. FURTHER REVIEW SHOWS THAT AD 2015-03-01 ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE HAS YET TO BE COMPLIED WITH ON THIS AIRCRAFT, HOWEVER IS STILL WITHIN THE COMPLIANCE TIME FOR COMPLETION. EVIDENCE OF IMPROPER INSTALLATION COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE AD IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED  FOR THE NEXT HEAVY CHECK.

REVIEWED 09/08/2016 EOC

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.
