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.

Aircraft began running rough, and #6 cylinder indication showed a temperature change. Pilot elected to make a precautionary landing at psc to have maintenance look at it. The #6 fuel injector was partially or completely clogged. Injector was replaced and engine returned to service.
