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) On takeoff from Copalis beach airport (S16) the aircraft struck a rock with the nose gear damaging the wheel which caused the tire to deflate. Upon landing at Boeing field (kbfi) the aircraft stopped on the runway and was moved to wings aloft for further inspection. The inspection revealed no other damage to the aircraft.
