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 stated that after landing on runway 33, he began to add power to taxi off of active aurnway. Nose gear collapsed just after pilot added power. Piedmont/hawthrone recovered aircraft from runway, placed aircraft on jacks and swung gear. There were no apprarent mechanical malfunctions during retraction test. Damage to aircraft indicates that gear had been selected "up". Otherwise nose gear doors would have had damage from nose gear strut, collapsing on them. Witness stated gear handle was in up position.
