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.

The aircraft was inspected by maintenance from gulf aviation. The A&P mechanic found the engine oil pressure gauge (direct reading gauge) leaking. This caused oil fumes to get in the cockpit. The gauge was replaced and no further problems noted.
