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) Arrived at scene Friday may 11, aircraft on runway 36L with nose gear retracted. All passengers and crew had been bussed to terminal. No fire and no reported injuries to passengers or crew by airport fire rescue supervisor who was on scene when aircraft stopped. Requested that main gear be pinned and guua maintenance personnel accomplished. Guua's Tampa line mx supervisor privacy data omitted photographed aircraft exterior, engines/props, cockpit switches & circuit breakers. Mx personnel were boarded in back of cabin and cargo bin to raise nose from ground. A jack was placed at forward jack point, nose gear lowered by hydraulic pump and pinned. Damage survey: some skin damaged around nose wheel well, two prop tips ground down approximately two inches right engine and one prop tip on left engine. Coordinated with ntsb's privacy data omitted, released aircraft to guua personnel, towed to FBO Raytheon hangar. Gear retraction/extension testing Sunday may 13 to guua mx showed that all gear would extend, but if someone held pressure against the nose gear, it would not extend. Failed component testing may result in maintenance or manufacturing defect identification.
