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)While doing pattern work on the final approach to Fullerton the pilot landed hot and hard causing the landing gear over center lack to release and this allowed the main landing gear to collapse. Damage to the aircraft was minimal, surface damage was to the wing tips and the prop was destroyed. Engine crank shaft was measured and the mechanic found it to be in acceptable limits (0.0015). No other damage to the aircraft.
