Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING INITIAL CLIMB, THE PLT NOTED A VIBRATION. HE WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE & ELECTED TO LAND GEAR UP ON THE REMAINING RWY. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED THAT THE STICK SHAKER SYS HAD BEEN ACTIVATED BY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE LEFT ENG NACELLE AREA. THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DETERMINED DUE TO A GROUND FIRE THAT OCCURRED IN THAT AREA.
