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) On March 6, 2000, at 1810E, a DO-328-100, registered as N426JS, operated as psa (vnaa) flight 4087, twice aborted takeoff at "pit" on runway 28L and then taxied to the gate without incident.

Investigation by desk audit. Note: no information for the flight crew was given to this office by the operator by direction of the poi, Mr. James yarbrough @ GL-07. Three requests have been made to the poi and none were replied to. Also, two calls were made to Mr. Harkma, dos for vnaa with no replies.
