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.

Narrtive: on February 5, 1994, at 10:00 PST, a Cessna 172 operated by trans air, blew-out both main tires after landing on an aircraft check-out flight, visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft was not damaged and the personnel on-board were not injured. The pilot -in-command held a commercial pilot certificate. The flight originated at San Carlos Airport on February 5, 1994, at 0900. The pilot checking-out in the aircraft was used to flying aircraft with anti-skid braking systems and had applied heavy braking force too soon after landing, causing the wheels to lock and the main tires to blow-out. The flight instructor who conducted this check-out flight has been counseled on techniques for checking for proper placement of the feet on the rudder pedals before landing. This terminates the investigation and the report is closed. No pilot deviation and no 8020-11 generated.
