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) Incident was reported by charles muton (airport manager Gladewater airport) (903-845-2116). Mr. Muton reported a BE-18 had a hard landing while dropping off skydivers. The aircraft was retuning around noon on 7-13-2002 to the Gladewater airport when the incident occurred. No one witnessed the incident that I have been able to contact, however the airport manager saw the aircraft and stated the aircraft sustained some damage to the engine mounts and props.
