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.

After touchdown in (abe), the crew heard a noise and felt a small yaw. Stopped the aircraft and found that both main tires had blown on the left side. This occurred just after the transition from minimum autobrakes to manual braking at approximately 110 knots.
