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) Inspector statement: facts: on April 15, 2005, at approximately 9:15 eastern time, inspector privacy data omitted called our office to report a Cessna CE-172-SP, had arrived at eagle aviation, columbia metro airport (cae) located in west columbia, SC, from an airport in Georgia. The aircraft had been operated with a large dent in the left wing. He requested inspector privacy data omitted and myself come to eagle aviation to interview the pilot about the incident. Inspector privacy data omitted and myself interviewed the pilot privacy data omitted at eagle aviation at approximately 9:45 eastern time. The pilot privacy data omitted escorted us to the ramp to view N37CJ, the Cessna 172-SP she had piloted from Georgia with damage to the left wing. The pilot privacy data omitted provided a written statement describing the wing strike. She also stated she had not used good judgment when she operated N37CJ, with the wing damage. There were no injuries from the wing strike or flight to cae. Inspectors conclusion: the pilot privacy data omitted presented herself as an honest, well meaning, low-time pilot. She was very cooperative and appears to have a compliance attitude.
