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.
On 05/08/2012, I examined N5049T for a reported nose gear collapse during the landing roll. The nose gear down-lock link was broken, and both props made contact with the runway. The props have tip-curl on both engines consistant with high power application. There is damage to the nose gear doors.
