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) CFI stated that aircraft made a firm but not exceptionally hard landing at night upon touchdown. A bang was heard, followed by a 20 degree swerve to the left. CFI thought it was a blown tire, but soon discovered that he could not move aircraft and called for assistance.
