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.

After landing, during landing rollout, the nose gear would not lock into place, resulting in a collapse of the nose landing gear. Contributing to the incident was that the pilot was unable to affect the alternate landing gear extension procedure due to the handle being stuck.
