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.

No issues noted with pilot or aircraft records. A wildlife strike report no. 2017-10-22-064338 has been filed and a special flight permit issued to reposition aircraft to the Bombardier repair station in kict. This matter is considered closed.
