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: on 1/18/94, ryan 205, a B-727-21, N356QS, departed Nashville, TN (bna), for dayton, OH. After takeoff, ryan 205 reported that he had a vibration in the aircraft and wished to return for landing. The log entry made in N356QS maintenance log book stated that a "severe buffett" was experienced at 250K. When slowing to 220K the buffett became moderate but continued throughout the flight until touchdown. Power adjustments on each throttle and spoiler usage had no effect on the buffet. Examination of the aircraft after parking showed that both left and right ailerons (inboard and outboard), the control tabs, flap trailing edge, right wing leading edge at the fence, left side of the vertical stabilizer, and left side of the #2 engine cowl all had ice adhering to the surfaces. The aircraft had been de-iced over a 3 1/2 hour period using another carrier for personnel and materials after it had accumulated a signigicant ice buildup over a 2 day layover period. A post de-icing inspection was performed by the captain from the L-1 door according to approved ryan de-ice procedures, and he did not detect any ice from that vantage point at that time.
