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.

Upon transit to the taxiway, the right main landing gear experienced an uncommanded collapse. Maintenance lifted the right wing and fixed the gear in place. The pilot towed the aircraft by hand to the hangar. The minor damage sustained to right wing flight control surfaces occurred during recovery and repair. The aircraft privacy data omitted has identified faulty parts and has replacement parts being manufactured.
