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) American eagle flight 3887, on nov. 21, 2002, departed dfw airport on runway 36R at 0812 CST. Shortly after takeoff and before being handed to departure control, declared an emergency with smoke in the cabin. The flight elected to stay with dfw tower, for return to the airport. The aircraft then landed on runway 36L, exited the runway on taxiway E2 and evacuated the passengers. The cause of the smoke was determined to be residue fluid from an engine turbine wash earlier in the day. FAA form 8020-11 shows the aircraft to be an EMB-145. The actual aircraft was a CRJ-700.
