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.

At approximately 14:40 local time on may 28, 2026, a privacy data omitted was involved in a landing incident at Houston Executive Airport (tme). The aircraft was conducting a routine 14 CFR part 61 training flight with a certified flight instructor and student aboard.

During the landing sequence, the right main landing gear lower strut and wheel assembly separated from the aircraft upon touchdown due to unknown reasons. The separation of the gear caused the aircraft to depart the runway environment and enter the grass.
