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.

See belowfuel flow divider was recently replaced. Fuel line "b" nut at connecting point on fuel flow divider became disconnected from the fuel flow divider spraying raw fuel on engine and causing fuel starvation- engine stopped running. It appears that the nut was not properly secured at the time of flow divider replacement
