Narrative:

I was captain in command of an light transport flown from tul to dfw, which was to be presented to the X museum. Arrival was at approximately XX00, landing on runway 18R. Quite some time after the arrival at hangar, I was questioned by 3 FAA men regarding the landing and a broken threshold light. I said I had no knowledge of it and did not hit it. After some discussion they were satisfied and one remarked that this occasionally happens, caused by maintenance trucks on the field. After arriving home in az, I received a call from the FAA in washington. I went through the entire explanation to him. In dfw, one of the FAA men asked if there was any damage to the light transport. The aircraft was inspected and there was no damage. Supplemental information from acn 241016: callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: reporter states that the phone call from washington seemed to settle the matter. It appeared that one of the FAA inspectors wanted to rescind the captain's type rating in the light transport. Since there was no damage to the aircraft it seems a tempest in a teapot.
