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: during landing roll out, the pilot placed the prop controls into ground fine as always. On this occasion, the left propeller went into reverse which caused the aircraft to veer sharpley to the left. The left main landing gear went off the runway and struck a runway light. This resulted in minor damage to the wheel fairing. Upon inspection of the left propeller components by maintenance personnel, it was determined that part of the linkage was insufficient in dead band and caused reverse to come in too soon. The linkage was re-rigged and adjusted and the problem corrected. This report closes this incident.
