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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: aircraft departed norwich, NY (oic) and failed to obtain a nose gear up and locked light. Crew cycled gear and obtained light. On landing at lunken airport (luk) the aircraft veered off the left side of runway 24. Inspection of the aircraft found the nose strut flat and the nose axle bent. Snow and ice on the runway at norwich may have bent the axle after the nose strut lost its nitrogen charge. M or d report will be submitted on the nose strut and axle. This investigation is considered closed with the submission of this report.
