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.

Narrative: at approximately 1430 EST on March 17, 1994, Piper aircraft N6194H landed on runway 30 at Morristown Municipal Airport with the landing gear retracted. During a telephone interview the pilot stated that he failed to properly utilize the before landing checklist, and did not lower the landing gear. He also stated that when the landing gear warning horn sounded, he thought it was the stall warning horn. He further stated that he had placed the automatic gear system in override due to the low airspeed he was flying as a result of turbulence that he encountered during the flight.
