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.

privacy data omittedDeparted jfk on 19 June at 2331Z/1931(l), after a 90-minute delay due to convective weather and windshear at the field. Three and a half hours after their ofp was published the crew finally departed unaware of a convective SIGMET overhead the field and on their departure flight path because a preflight briefing was not conducted between captain and dispatcher, nor was an update provided to the captain about the SIGMET. Shortly after departure at 12,000FT, while attempting to deviate around cells depicted on wx radar, they encountered mod/severe convective turbulence. 12 injuries were reported. The crew and dispatcher have been accepted into the asap program.
