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.
(-23) A letter from captain dennis j. lessard (manager of line operations) states: "the cause of the take-off warning horn sounding was determined to be that the flight spoiler handle was slightly out of the detent. There was no failure or malfunction involved with the aircraft, therefore, there were no required write-ups for the aircraft log and a pilot report was not required".
