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 approximately 6000 feet inbound, the captain saw a large bird flash by his left window. Immediately thereafter, the #1 engine shut down and the flight crew experienced several icas fault messages. After the engine failed the crew followed the qrh procedures to secure the engine and perform an emergency landing. Due to a flap fail message the captain performed a no slat and flap 2 landing. The captain requested that crash fire rescue inspect the main gear area for indications of a brake over heat. The aircraft taxied to the gate and deplaned the passengers through the jet bridge.
