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: nose gear locating cam disengaged from rack. The rack bent and became entangled with the nose gear steering mechanism upon retraction. This prevented full extension of the nose gear due to interference with the nose drag strut. Nose gear collapsed on landing rollout.
