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.

Due to the smoke in the cabin, the captain stopped on the taxiway and ordered an evacuation. There were four passengers and two crew members on board.

Maintenance mel'd the APU and the aircraft was returned to service. Later the APU was sent in for maintenance, where the compressor seal, p/n 3826795-1, was found to be leaking.
