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 pilot was landing at talkeetna Alaska, a runway 36. While on the landing rollout the right main landing gear collapsed, causing the airplane to slide to a stop on the right wing tip. (-23 amendment) privacy data omitted, found rust in a crack, on the forward main landing gear, main strut tube. This caused the gear failure. This is why the airplane incident occured.
