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 landing touchdown a welded fitting on the right main landing gear fractured causing the right main gear to become detached from the right landing gear strut. The airplane came to an abrupt stop on runway 14 at cxo. Both propeller blade tips showed sign of surface contact and the landing gear strut showed signs of contact wear.
