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) An express jet (dba Continental express) Embraer EM-145, flight #4269, enroute from cle to mci, according to the situation report-preliminary incident report, contacted ATC and requested emergency equipment to be on standby due to a #1 hydraulic system quantity low level indication. Upon landing without incident, the maintenance personnel at mci determined that the #1 hydraulic quantity indication system was inoperative, deferred repair of the item in accordance with MEL 29-30-00, and released the aircraft for service. On August 26, 2001, the MEL was cleared after the maintenance personnel documented resecuring the cannon plug on the #1 hydraulic quantity indicating switch. With this report, incident #CE2001AC0063 is considered closed.
