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 April 4, 2007 at 0900 local time, Cessna 441, N835MA, landed at kagc with the left engine feathered and CFR standing by. I interviewed the pilot privacy data omitted on 4-5-2007. He stated that they were enroute from bmg to agc and was descending out of FL 190 when he got a low oil pressure indication. He feathered the left engine and advised ATC and requested equipment at agc. Initial inspection of the engine found low oil quantity. Winner aviation (W6NR) removed the engine and took it to their repair station and found a bad scavenge pump, p/n 3108026-1 replaced, and winner will do an m&d.
