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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Trans states maintenance returned the aircraft to service. There were no injuries to the crew or passengers. The flight crew's actions or lack of actions did not contribute to this incident. This closed the investigation of this incident and no further action is required from this office.
