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.
Upon landing on runway 5 the aircraft was FAR right. The aircraft's left main landing gear, left wing tip and #1 engine cowling momentarily struck the ground as the captain executed a go-around. The captain landed on runway 23 with no further incident.
