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.

During taxi for takeoff, the main landing gear, shaft (pin) connecting the lower torque link to the right hand main landing gear strut, sheared and eventually came out of the torque link. This caused the wheel and tire assembly to swivel, forcing the aircraft to veer to the right. Aircraft was recovered from the taxiway, and sustained no further damage.
