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.

Examination of the aircraft disclosed abrasion damage to both nose landing gear doors and minor damage to the aircraft belly skin. Further examination disclosed damage to the nose gear spacer assembly and the steering actuator was found to be disconnected at the rod end that attaches to the nose gear strut. A temporary repair was made to the nose landing gear spacer assembly and the actuator was reattached. Three successful gear retraction/extension cycles were completed. No further malfunction or defect was noted.
