What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
From the PIC of the proposed flight the fire took place while stationary and on the ground. From his description to me the run-up and everything else was normal until he saw signs of a fire in the engine compartment. He and the passenger immediately exited the aircraft. He attempted to put out the fire with the onboard fire extinguisher but it was ineffective. The airport firefighters arrived minutes later and put out the fire.
NTSB did not investigate this because damage criteria was not met. This was a no action for the NTSB.
