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: N814AA took off on runway 1L at kmci. Just after landing gear was retracted a loud "bang" was heard by both pilots and the main cargo door was observed to be open. Cargo was being sucked out and was injested by the #1 engine. The #1 engine was shut down as EGT climbed above 740 degrees. The pilot made a left traffic pattern (down wind leg was 4 to 5 miles west of runway 1L/19R) and made a single engine landing on runway 1L without further incident. privacy data omitted Incident closedprivacy data omitted
