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) Aircraft returned to land on runway #1 after reporting a control problem shortly after departure. The ARFF responded and the aircraft taxied to the ramp without incident. Pilots log entry described condition as a structural vibration which occurred at 3000AGL and gradually dissipated to a control surface flutter at 120 knots prior to landing. Maintenance inspected the aircraft and determined the problem to be the right propeller. The right propeller was replaced and the aircraft was test flown satisfactory.
