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.

At approximately 2316Z on may 1st, 2022,privacy data omitted, piloted by privacy data omitted went off the side of the runway at ktpf after an approach to runway 36. The pilot contacted the chief pilot at approximately 2359Z stating that he had ?blown a tire on landing? And ?did not realize that it was blown until clearing the runway.? Maintenance personnel was scheduled to come next morning to replace the tire.

The following morning, may 2nd, 2022, maintenance personnel arrived at ktpf to service the tire. Upon arrival, the technician noticed the gear door missing. (Please see mx report below.)
