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 August 7, 2001, at approximately 2345 central daylight time, Beech K-35, N5397E, the LH MLG collapsed following the landing rollout at Omaha Millard Airport runway 12. The PIC and 2 passengers reported no injury. Subsequent investigation disclosed that the LH MLG retract rod, Beech pn 35-815125-12, failed when the PIC maneuvered from the active runway. Conditions strongly suggest that the landing gear may have been mis-rigged and prevented a positive downlock of the LH MLG assembly.
