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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Pilot stated he might have inadvertently mismanaged the gear and flap controls in the rollout, but that he did not remember for sure what happened. Mechanical inspection revealed no apparent system malfunction. Investigation revealed expired medical certificate. The pilot's flight review may also be expired. privacy data omitted
