From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

ATC requested aircraft to extend downwind and when the pilot added power to extend, the engine started running rough. The pilot requested to land immediately and ATC cleared the aircraft to land. The aircraft had normal landing on the runway and then the engine quit running. Aarf was dispatched because someone supposedly reported smoke and/or flames. FAA form 8020-9 states: ?? Roc instructed dash 9 be filed due to flames in engine reported by arf. Flames were not observed from tower on rollout.? Both pilots on board wrote in their statement that ATC told them that they observed smoke from the engine. Maintenance later reported observing fresh oil spilled on the exhaust system and two cylinders with lower than normal compression. Private pilot certificate is issued based on peru foreign pilot license. Number of hours are unknown.
