The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Final approach to runway 36 setting up for landing in fog and rainy

This inspector was assigned this accident on 05/26/2020, several years after the accident occurred. As such, block 35 reflects FAA participation as not on scene. However, the initial iic took 6 hours of travel time to and from the scene.
The date of this accident according to the -9 was 12/18/2017. However, the atqa automation will not allow the year to be corrected from 2018 to 2017. Since that date cannot be corrected, the proper dates for blocks 36 and 37 are not allowed to be prior to the event date, the only way the automation will allow a save is to make the date entry of 12/18/2018.
