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) Upon landing on runway 18 at new Century Aircenter (ixd), Olathe, Kansas, the aircraft went off the left side of the runway and the nose wheel collapsed. The pilot and two passengers (both certificated pilots) reported that touchdown on the main landing gear was normal. However, when the nose wheel touched down, the airplane veered sharply to the left. The aircraft had prior damage to the nose wheel fork assembly, apparently due to being turned beyond the towing limits. Incident privacy data omitted is closed with this report.
