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.

The aircraft sustained only minor damage to the right wing tip, right horizontal stabilizer tip, right propeller and right main landing gear torque tube. No injuries were reported. Mr. Mohler is a certified private pilot and is rated asel, amel and instrument airplane. The flight originated in san carlos, CA jan 14, 1994 at 2000 local. The right main landing gear down lock failed to go over center due to binding in the lower side brace mounting bolt. An m or d report has been submitted on the bolt (Cessna part no. 5041011-1). The bolt rusted and seized due to lack of lubrication.
