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) MKU1429 @ 8,000', MKU1570 @ 7,000', N47D @ 6,500'. The TCAS on mku 1570 gave a resolution advisory to climb, loosing required separation by ATC. The TCAS system resolved to place MKU1570 vertically halfway between N47D and mku 1429 (total vertical distance 1,500' between all three aircraft. This would be the correct resolution advisory given by the TCAS. The aircraft were reported no closer than 500' at any time. There was no malfunction in equipment, this case is closed.
