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 landing, the left gear collapsed and the aircraft slid off the runway onto the grass. The mechanic that checked out the aircraft found rivets sheared on a bracked dealing with the linkage in front of the spar in the left landing gear section.
