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) Pilot had completed the before takeoff check and noted the landing gear handle was down and he had three green landing gear lights. Pilot then taxied aircraft towards active runway making a right turn. Pilot noted a hum in his headset that he thought might be the hydraulic pump and then felt the right side of the aircraft drop, then the nose of the aircraft resulting in a propeller strike. Pilot executed an emergency engine shut down and exited the aircraft. Right main and nose gear had collapsed.
