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 jetway veered to the left striking the a/c approx 8 ft forward of the L2 door causing a gash approx 10 in. Long. A temporary patch was installed and the a/c was ferryed out for permanent repair.
