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 January 2, 2001, a/c xa-acn, model 600A, received minor damage on the left wing while landing on runway 35L at Laredo, Texas. The pilot reported that he experienced a left uncommended input while on final and about three feet prior to touchdown. Maintenance personnel inspected the flight control system and there were no irregularities noted. Dgac in Mexico will be informed and provided with a copy of this report. Our recommendation will be that the pilot be given a checkride similar to an FAA 709 checkride with emphasis on controllability of the a/c during the short final.
