AIRCRAFT GEAR COLLAPSED AT GROUND CONTACT DURING LANDING.
FAA incident report · Piper PA31 · Opa Locka, FL · June 26, 1981
From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
