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 had completed pressurization test flight and made a normal pattern and approach. Had 3 green indication with no horn. Landing roll was a normal, at about 2,000 feet down the runway, the left gear started to settle, finally fully collapsing.
