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) During climb and shortly after established on course, the gyro flag on the left HSI appeared, and the heading function failed on all associated heading indicators. The PIC declared an emergency to divert to the departure airport in VMC conditions and made an uneventful landing. An rmi was found to be faulty, and both rmi's were replaced as recommended.
