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) Five minutes after establishing cruise at 11,000' the door unlatched. The pilot could not hear the radio over the wind noise, so he declared an emergency and set 7700 on the transponder. He decended in VFR conditions and landed at lbb with no injuries or damage. There was no detectible defect in the door or the latch.
