## Narrative

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

ON JULY 10, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 09:30 THE AIRCRAFT N5827M DEPARTED MONTGOMERY REGIONAL AIRPORT (KMGM). WHILE CLIMBING THROUGH 5000? AGL 10 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE AIRPORT THE PILOT NOTICED OIL AND CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURES RISING ON RIGHT ENGINE. THE ANGLE OF CLIMB WAS REDUCED TO INCREASE COOLING. THE RIGHT ENGINE STARED RUNNING ROUGH AND A TURN BACK TO THE AIRPORT WAS MADE. SMOKE AND FIRE WAS NOTICED COMING FROM RIGHT ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LOUVERS. THE MIXTURE WAS PULLED, PROPELLER WAS FEATHERED AND THE LOW BOOST PUMP AND FUEL SELECTOR WERE TURNED OFF. AN UNEVENTFUL EMERGENCY LANDING WAS MADE.

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.
