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 9 February 2017 while landing at kmkl airport, aircraft N21B with privacy data omitted acting as the pilot in command sustained a nosegear collapse during landing rollout. privacy data omitted Stated to inspector ian lake of the memphis FSDO that the previous owner of the incident aircraft had a firm landing the day prior in high wind conditions with privacy data omitted onboard in the right seat. privacy data omitted Stated that he had not had a hard landing in the aircraft and provided a written statement atesting that the previous owner during a demonstration flight prior to selling the aircraft to privacy data omitted had a firm landing during less than 24 hours prior to the incident. I feel that privacy data omitted has been honest and forthcoming during the entire investigation and I have no reason to not believe his account of the incident.
