Factual narrative
THE COCKPIT BEGAN TO FILL WITH SMOKE DURING INITIAL CLIMB AFTER THE PLT RAISED THE LDG GEAR. THE PLT RETURNED TO THE ARPT AND MADE AN EMERGENCY LDG. AFTER EVACUATING THE ACFT, THE PLT OBSERVED THAT THE RT ENGINE NACELLE AFT OF THE FIREWALL WAS ON FIRE. INITIAL ATTEMPTS BY GROUND PERSONNEL TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED SEVERAL MINUTES LATER BY A LOCAL FIRE DEPT AFTER THE ACFT HAD SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE FIRE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING. THE ACFT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY EXAMINED BY AN FAA AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTOR; THE EXACT ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
