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 pilot encountered a hard landing at the San Luis Obispo, CA airport. The nose landing gear tire blew causing damage to the nose wheel assembly. Further investigation revealed the nose landing gear fork assembly was also damaged, therefore the lower portion (piston assembly) of the landing required replacement.
