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 17 aug 2001 at 0300, N900BJ diverted after reporting smoke in the cockpit. The aircraft landed on runway 28R, the ARFF responded, where was no fire or evacuation reported and the aircraft taxied to the ramp without incident. The crew contacted their company, it was found that the bleed valve went into emergency mode which will cause the cabin to heat up and produce a moisture vapor. The cabin pressurization was put on MEL and then they continued to their destination. This incident is closed.
