## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Incident 19840126010419I](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19840126010419I), Jan 26, 1984: Bac 111204AF, Richmond, VA. Right engine flameout on final approach. Fuel dip and top temperature control amplifiers changed.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
