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.

Anaktuvuk Pass Airport is owned and operated by the north slope borough. Airport maintenance did a f.o.d check on the morning of 12/16/2011 using a truck other than the designated vehicle. In the process of completing the f.o.d check a vehicle jack fell out of the back of the truck without the drivers knowledge. On landing rollout aircraft struck the jack causing right main gear to collapse.
