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.

Based upon written statements, during the landing phase of flight, the aircraft impacted the runway three times hard. After the third impact to the runway, the pilot applies power to execute a go-around and lands the aircraft without further incident. The cabin door required excessive force to open.
