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 takeoff from kfwa, the flight crew heard a few klunks originating from the nose gear area. The nose landing gear would not retract. Flight crew returned for landing without nose wheel steering as scissors pin came out during rotation. Steering was not available during landing but crew did a good job of maintaining directional control. A/c was towed from runway to passenger terminal. Maintenance personnel were determining whether pin was installed incorrectly by ground crew or actually failed.
