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: on September 25, 1996, at 0652 MST, a Beech super king air B200, piloted by Mr. Roy a. goodart took off from the Salt Lake City International Airport. His airspeed climbed to 160 knots indicated. At 300 feet AGL, the airspeed started to drop and the altimeters stopped climbing. The situation was reported to Salt lake departure and the aircraft returned and landed without further incident. The airspeed indicator was reading 105 knots as the aircraft taxied to barken international. Investigation revealed tape on the static ports. Apparently the aircraft had been washed and the tape was not removed. Barken employees have been counseled about proper techniques and procedures concerning this type of activity. This incident was initially reported as a pneudraulic/hydraulic problem, when in reality it is a pneumatic/static incident. No further action taken. This is a final report.
