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) privacy data omitted stated he had not aligned the aircraft with the runway properly before touchdown. Consequently, the side load on the nose gear caused it to collapse. Subsequent investigation revaled improper registration, improper markings, and missing operating limitations.
