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 October 18, 2000, 1517 local a us airways flight 1449 a folker F28MK0100 landed RW34 after reporting a hydraulic problem inbound and executed a missed approach. Upon landing the gear doors were observed open and draging on the runway. Company maintenance personnel met the aircraft on the runway, pinned the gear and towed the aircraft to the gate.

A company special action tag was attached to the acrator for further analysis of the suspected failed part. The aircraft was ferried to a main maintenance base for repair and or replacement of the main gear doors.
