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: the pilot indicated that he put the gear handle down in the traffic pattern. The pilot had a landing gear down and locked indication. When he touched down the gear was in the transit position, not down and locked, thus causing minor damage to the aircraft propeller, engine exhaust, cowl flaps, radio antennas, and trailing edge flaps. He also indicated that post inspection revealed that the landing gear motor circuit breaker had popped.
