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) N22F, Beech 20, declared an emergency due to unsafe gear indication on approach to Omaha, NE. The aircraft landed safely. Maintenance found that the thermal relief valve was bypassing fluid too early, causing the motor to continue to run until it caused the circuit breaker to trip. Maintenance adjusted the thermo relief valve.
