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.

As the FAA filed it

PILOT LOWERED GEAR AND VERIFIED ON BASE. SOMEHOW, PERHAPS DUE TO TURBULANCE, THE GEAR WAS RETRACTED.
