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.
At 15:10 local N787FL, an LS-1 Lightning was on approach for runway 5 at Nemacolin woodlands resort, (PA88). Pilot stated that on short final he was fully configured at 55 knots at 15 feet above the runway when there was a sudden and excessive descent rate. This resulted in a hard landing which caused the right main landing gear to collapse. Both the pilot and passenger were uninjured.
