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: main gear would not deploy, either in normal or emergency mode. Landed on nose wheel and tail cone tie down ring, on grass adjacent to runway. After aircraft came to a stop, it teetered left, at which time left wing tip, elevator, and stabilizer hit the ground. The wing tip suffered a minor scrape, and the left elevator and stabilizer were slightly buckled cordwise.
