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.

Aircraft skidded approximately 1000 feet before coming to rest on the runway. No injuries to the pilot were reported. The FBO jacked the aircraft and manually lowered the gear and towed aircraft to the ramp. The FBO also noted that the gear handle was in the down position. Aircraft sustained minor damage to the belly area and to the propeller. An interview with the pilot revealed that he had placed the gear in the down position and received a down and locked light during his approach. This matter is closed.
