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.
Nose gear actuator p/n 50-820208-5, failed internally causing the nose gear incapable of locking in the down position. Aircraft landed on main gear, then settled on the nose. The engines had been shutdown and propeller feathered. Damage to aircraft: nose gear doors and skins damaged, both propeller blades slightly bent.
