## Narrative

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

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ABORTED TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 5R AT RDU DUE TO INSUFFICIENT NO.2 ENGINE POWER. AIRCRAFT TAXIED TO THE RAMP WHERE THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR BRAKE CAUGHT FIRE. RAMP PERSONNEL EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. POB: 4, INJURIES: NONE, DAMAGE: MINOR

SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED INSUFFICIENT R ENGINE POWER DUE TO RIGHT-ENGINE FCU MALFUNCTION IN EEC AUTO OPERATION. SUBSEQUENT BRAKE FIRE DUE TO LEFT BRAKE THERMAL OVERLOAD FROM SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING DURING THE ABORTED TAKEOFF ATTEMPT.

THE EVENT WAS PRECEDED BY A RIGHT EEC ADVISORY ANNUNCIATOR ON THE PREVIOUS FLIGHT FROM KISO TO KRDU. THE ADVISORY WAS ADDRESSED AFTER LANDING AND EXTINGUISHED, BUT THE DISCREPANCY WAS NOT COMMUNICATED THROUGH THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE REPORTING CHAIN BEFORE THE NEXT DEPARTURE.

MAINTENANCE REPRODUCED THE RIGHT-ENGINE POWER SHORTFALL IN EEC AUTO OPERATION WHILE MANUAL OPERATION PRODUCED NORMAL TAKEOFF POWER.

THE LEFT BRAKE FIRE WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE HEAT GENERATED FROM THE SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING THE ASYMMETRIC-THRUST ABORTED TAKEOFF.

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.
