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.

During landing at Memphis the left rear main inboard and outboard tires blew. The tire debris struck the left inboard flap causing a 12" by 10" up to 0.250" deep dent in the flap. The aircraft taxied off the runway under its own power.
