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 approach to venango regional airport (fkl) franklin, PA, (an uncontrolled airport) the pilot selected gear down and the right main gear down lock indicator light did not illuminate. The pilot elected not toland at (fkl) and deviate to Pittsburgh international airport (pit). On approach to land on runway 28R at pit, the right main gear down lock light still did not illuminate. The aircraft landed and taxied to the ramp without incident. Maintenance personnel troubleshoot the aircraft and found the right main gear down lock indicator switch had stuck in the gear up position (indication system only). The switch was replaced and the aircraft was returned to service later that morning.
