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.

(-16) At this time the aircraft is still under investigation to see if there was/is a mechanical problem or not which would cause the aircraft to drift to the left on touchdown. At this time I'm waiting for the outcome of the aircraft inspection before pursuing anything on the pilot. (Amendment): after troubleshooting the aircraft the mechanics found that the right hand antiskid warning light was on. The problem was that the right hand inboard antiskid generator had a high amount of corrosion on the cannon plug causing it to give the system the indication that it was locked up. Thi would cause only the left brakes to work making the aircraft drift to the left on rollout.
