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) At 1955E, N502T, a Cessna C650 landed on runway 31 at MDT after reporting an unsafe noise gear indication. The ARFF responded and the aircraft landed with no incident. Hershey maintenance replaced the noise gear actuator assembly. The down lock indicator switch is part of the actuator assembly.
