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.

After talking with persons on the ground and another aircraft on the ground the pilot decided to land. Upon landing the gear slowly collapsed. The collapse of the left gear resulted in the left wing striking the ground and equipment on the side of the runway.
