THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED ON TO THE TAXI WAY, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LOWER FUSELAGE AREA AND PROPELLER. PILOT STATED THAT THE GEAR SAFETY SWITCH WAS OPERATIONAL. INCIDENT REFERRED TO OPERATIONS ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
