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.

Perris valley airport (L65) at approx. 15:30 hrs., the left main landing gear collapsed after landing on runway 33. After the collapse of gear, the aircraft veered off the runway striking a runway light.

The pilot in command stated that after an uneventful landing and a few seconds into the rollout and slowdown, the left main landing gear collapsed unexplainably, immediately after; the johnson bar jumped out of position causing the right and nose landing gears to collapse as well.
