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) Flight attendants notified the flight crew of electrical smell in the forward cabin, which became apparent in the cockpit along with a "standby inverter" advisory. Qrh procedures were accomplished and an emergency diversion to ict (nearest suitable) was initiated. Electrical fumes/smell dissipated as the inverter was isolated from the electrical system and an uneventful landing was accomplished. Passengers were deplaned at gate. Cabin crew and passenger injury summary not known by ASI.
