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 December 14, 2000, approx. 0930 CST, Beech 1900 c, N719GL, struck a light pole during a taxi operations at Omaha Eppley Airfield. The aircraft, owned and operated by suburban air freight, inc. encountered glare ice on a sloped ramp following cargo unloading at the us post office ramp. Gusty wind conditions, coupled with ineffective braking contributed to an unrecoverable skid resulting in damage to the RH wing leading edge at ws 249.75 when the aircraft made contact with a pole. The application of LH engine reverse thrust and feathering the RH propeller prevented damage to the engine and fuselage assemblies. No injury was reported by the PIC.
