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) The pilot stated that the mechanical nosewheel indicator did not indicate that the nose gear was down. He cycled the gear twice and all indicators showed the gear was down. At touchdown the nose gear collapsed. Because of damage maintenance could not determine the cause of the malfunction.
