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: pilot stated that he went threw his landing check list and selected the gear handle to the down position. He told me that he had a green (gear down and locked) indicator light. At the moment the gear touched the runway and weight came down on the gear it collapsed. This incident is still under investigation. A malfunction and defect report will follow.
