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.

At about 1645 pacific daylight time N9KG sustained substantial damage following a right main landing gear collapse. The collapse occurred during landing roll at bke. The pilot, the sole occupant was returning from hio after having extensive maintenance performed to include a 5 year landing gear inspection. The pilot stated that after landing and placing both engines in beta the right main landing gear began to collapse once the brakes were applied. The landing gear collapse appears to have been caused by the fracture of the landing gear boss, which houses the clevis attached to the right landing gear hydraulic actuator. Post accident inspection revealed that the aircraft had sustained structural damage to the right lower fuselage as well as damage to the number 2 engine propeller caused by the landing gear collapse.
