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) During rollout, left main landing gear collapsed and aircraft began a slide to the right. The right main gear and nose gear collapsed as the aircraft slid to the right side of the runway. Initial inspection by mechanics appear to have found the mounts for the landing gear electrical assemble broken.
