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) At touchdown while landing on runway 26L at ksus, in the touchdown zone, the aircraft pulled hard to the right. The pilot used full left rudder and left thrust reverse to keep the aircraft tracking straight on the runway. The aircraft main gear stayed on the runway while the nose wheel stopped 8 feet into the grass on the right side of 26L. The right main tire appeared never to have rotated on touchdown. The wheel was locked up and scraped through the tire and into the wheel. The left main wheel showed signs of skidding and scraped through the tire in numerous places. The right brake was found to have one of the three rotors locked in place. The antiskid system was functionally checked later and no discrepancies were noted.
