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 aircraft was observed by ATC making a normal approach and landing at sdl. As the aircraft slowed to exit the runway, the right main gear collapsed under the aircraft and the aircraft came to rest on the runway. Airworthiness inspectors wap and mbs of this office visited with the owner/operator of the aircraft and came to the conclusion after inspecting the landing gear and wheel assembly that there was a failure of the landing gear and due to an "overbuilt" gear box (mod), the landing gear leg did not "give" at the gear box and substantial damage was sustained. No further action deemed necessary.
