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 June 26, 2014, during a pre-flight inspection, the flight engineer noticed an abrasion on the aft end of the left side skid bar, part number 3305208-2, located on the lower fuselage at fuselage station 817E left butt line 10, along with a scuffed spot of paint at approximate fuselage station 817E left butt line 25. After conversation with maintenance lead it was determined that the damage was negligible. Later that morning, subsequent post-flight inspection in daylight and better weather revealed additional internal damage to the aircraft structure.

Initial damage was not previously reported and occurred at an unknown time and unknown location.
