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 observed a light in the cockpit which indicated pressure was being applied to one of the wheel brakes while in the flight,preparing to land. Pilot elected to disable the anti-skid system for landing and not apply brakes until below 105 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS). He applied too much brake pressure before 105 KIAS, which caused a tire to blow out, preventing the aircraft from taxing clear of the runway. There was no other damage to the aircraft and the pilot was retrained by the operator and reexamined by this FSDO. The reexamination was successful.
