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) Pilot spoke to control tower before 10 p.m. to get airport information. Aircraft landed after control tower had closed for the night. Aircraft was observed to still be in the air after it passed its own corporate hangar while landing on runway 15A. Aircraft landed and departed the runway in a right turn and came up on the taxiway. Aircraft went to corporate hangar to be put away and to be inspected. I found out about the incident 2 days later in casual conversation. I spoke with the maintenance personnel and looked over the aircraft and paperwork. The dom has forwarded all paperwork and correspondence between them and the airframe and the engine manufacture overing all there inspections that were performed. Some minor parts were replaced as needed. Complete wheel assemblies were exchanged. All work was done iaw the appropriate manufacturers recommendations. Also found registration paperwork for aircraft not correct. Registration problems were corrected by aircraft registry at okc.
