## Narrative

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

FIRST WITNESS THAT ARRIVED ON SEEN STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS INGULFED IN FIRE.  AIRCRAFT OWNER BURNED IN THE FIRE. UNKNOWN WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE TO START.

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.
