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 05/03/2007 inspectors from the las FSDO were contacted by mccarran international airport that a Galaxy G-200, N700QS, may have scraped a wing tip while attempting to land on runway 25L. The inspectors located the aircraft which was already in for repairs at general dynamics, a 145 repair station. The following is an approximation of the damage: scraping damage to the lower outboard section of the leading edge slat, approximately 1/2 square inch in size. Scraping damage to the lower portion of the left winglet with the fiberglass worn away and exposing the honeycomb interior in an area approximately 6 square inches. Winglet trailing edge static wick base also showed signs of scraping damage. Scraping damage to the outboard lower section of the left aileron approximately 3/4 of inch wide at the end of the aileron tapering to a point about 5 inches inboard. The flight crew was not available for interview and was being flown back to netjets headquarters for debriefing as part of netjets aviation safety action program (asap).
