As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(.19) ON APRIL 6, 1999, AT 905 CDT, AN ISRAEL AIRCRAFT 1124, N10UL, LOST THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY ON DEPARTURE FROM THE BIRMINGHAM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA. THE CORPORATE FLIGHT WAS OPERATED BY O'NEAL STEEL INC., UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 14 CFR PART 91 WAS AN INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PLAN FILED.  VISUAL WEATHER CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.  THE AIRPLANE SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.  THE FLIGHT CREW WAS NOT INJURIED.  THE INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THE INITIAL TAKEOFF FROM BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA.  THE EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE DISCLOSED THAT THE RIGHT WHEEL BEARING HAD FAILED AND THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY CAME OFF THE SPINDLE ASSEMBLY.  THE EXAMINATION ALSO DISCLOSED THAT THE PROPER WHEEL BEARING LUBICANT WAS PRESENT IN THE WHEEL HUB AND BEARING ASSEMBLY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
