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.

PIC aborted takeoff due to no airspeed indication. PIC returned to ramp and had mechanics look at aircraft. Aviation mechanic verified discrepancy. Upon inspection a cracked nylon union was found on the pitot line. The union was replaced and airspeed indication was restored.
