PRAN KYLE COE and ATAN JOHN BERGER VQ-4 Assisting in a low-power engine turn on an E-6B, PRAN Coe noticed sparks coming from the #4 engine cowling. He quickly alerted the plane captain, ATAN John Berger, who then signaled the turn operator to immediately shut down the engine. Upon inspection by the AEs, it was determined that two of four screws on the generator terminal block were not installed properly, causing the terminal board to come in contact with its outer guard.
