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 27, 2000, a Cessna 421B, N41B operated under part 91 landed at Bedford County Airport on runway 32 at 1345 local time. During a telephone interview on the same day the pilot stated: as the a/c exited the runway 32, the nosewheel contacted a snowcovered small ridge of ice/snow, which was a leftover from the plowing of the runway, which causes the nosegear to collapse. The a/c received minor damage to the nose section and both propellers were damaged. There was no injury to the pilot. Submission of this report closes this incident.
