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.
Nose landing gear would not extend. Aircraft was taken to maintenance hanger, with nose held up in a sling. The damaged nose gear doors were physically opened, and the nose landing gear fell freely down and locked. Cause is undetermined.
