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

(-23)Inspection of the wreckage revealed the oil line between the oil filter assembly and the engine had seperated. The seperation was caused by the improper installation of the hose clamp at the filter end. The clamp was not recovered.
