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) PIC reported that on approach ATC requested change from runway 34L to 34C. During aircraft manuever to 34C the right outboard roll spoiler stayed fully deployed. The PIC was able to compensate with aileron, rudder and trim to level the aircraft. The aircraft landed runway 34C without incident. The spoiler pcu and lift/dump valves were changed as precautionary. Amended 8020-23 may be filed pending teardown investigation of parts.
