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.

Per pilot, they were performing touch and goes. After landing on runway 19 and proceeding down the runway the gear started to feel “squirrely” and started to pull to the left. They received permission to stop there on the runway. Upon inspecting the aircraft it appeared as though the axle retaining hardware had come off the left side and was trying to come out.
