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: incident was due to loss of visual cues on landing roll-out. Runway had not been plowed. Estimates 3-4" snow on surface. On January 4, 1996, at approximately 1710 hours EST. A C-210 landed at I-14 (Eagle Creek airport), runway 21. The pilot stated that he lost sight of the runway lights and lost all visual cues. This caused him to drift left of center and enter a snow drift. The aircraft's nosewheel and right main gear collapsed, causing the prop and right wing tip to be damaged. The runway lights were covered by a recent snowfall that day and there was estimated to be 3 to 4 inches of snow on the runway.
