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) Spring oleos were jammed into the strut housing, not attached with the bolts. Taxiing on the grass runway loosened up the oleos. When the aircraft became airborne the oleos extended beyond normal. Upon landing the oleos folded instead of retracting causing damage to the gear.
