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) The aircraft experienced an aileron malfunction after transporting skydivers while rolling out of a descending right turn causing aerodynamic damage to the left aileron, flap, and fore-flap surfaces. The left aileron jammed due to binding of the flap and fore-flap. The PIC experienced a temporary loss of control but recovered the aircraft after unjamming the left aileron. The aircraft landed without further incident. Inspection revealed skin damage to the left aileron, left flap and fore-flap.
