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) The aircraft was landing in severe icing conditions. Apa tower changed his landing from 35R to 34L. The pilot was warned that the runway was slick. Initially, he was lined up with the right runway, which is longer in length than the left. He lined up to land at the threshold so he would not need to use braking on roll out. The pilot privacy data omitted would had landed correctly on runway 35R, but on 35L, he missed the end of the runway by a foot. The bump at the end of the runway caused the right gear to slowly collapse. The wings were building ice, which accelerated his flare. The weather factors were discussed with the pilot privacy data omitted and he was counselled.
