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: pilot was giving instruction to another instructor. On the second landing pilot forgot to lower landing gear. Someone on the ground radioed that the landing gear was not down. Pilot immediately added full power but the propeller and both inboard corners of the flaps contacted the ground. A/c was flown immediately to mcclelan afb without further incident.
