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) Pilot reported normal approach into prc, during touch down he felt the aircraft pulling left he said he added rudder to compensate for the pulling. He then stated that within a matter of a few seconds the aircraft's left main gear collapsed. The aircraft then skidded down the runway and came to a stop without further incident. The pilot reported it felt as if the left hand brake was grabbing. During my inspection of the aircraft records it was noted the brakes had been changed about 80 hours ago. We were unable to test the system due to the damage to the brake system.
