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.

The a/c departed the left-hand edge of the runway approx. 1400 feet from the landing threshold collapsing the ose gear assembly. Damage limited to the nose landing gear and gear doors. Both propellers and minor sheetmetal damage to forward/lower radome area. No injuries to the three occupants.
