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.
The gear on the left amphibious float collapsed during landing rollout causing the PA-18-135 airplane to skid off the left side of runway 34 at Ames Airport (21OG). The airplane pitched down and rolled right in the soft dirt bordering runway 34 damaging the right wing, propeller, and both amphibious floats.
