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 July 12, 2006, at 1510Z, a Lear model 31A, N569SC, on approach to southern Wisconsin regional airport, Janesville, WI, experienced a hard roll to the right when the flaps were lowered to 8 degrees. Opposite aileron input did not correct roll. The flaps were retracted and normal flight was resumed. The crew performed a go around and made a no flap landing without incident. Investigation on the ground revealed the right flap inboard nose roller separated from the flap structure. As a result, the flap, when lowered shifted outboard contacting the right aileron and restricting aileron travel. The aircraft was being operated as a repositioning ferry flight by SC aviation, inc. under 14 CFR part 135 when the incident occurred. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time.
