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: during a telephone interview with Mr. Cassill, on November 21, 1997, regarding the incident at the Racine airport, on November 19, 1997, regarding the incident at the Racine airport, on November 19, 1997, I found him to be very co-operative and concerned regarding safety of flight. He stated that he did have the landing gear down and three green lights, however during the normal landing and roll-out, the nose gear retracted and the propeller struck the ground. He noted that the landing gear selector was in the "up" position when he was securing the aircraft systems. He could not recall actually lifting the gear handle to the up position, during the landing; however, he stated that either his knee bumped the gear lever to the up position, or he inadvertently lifted the gear handle to the up position. Mr. Cassill is not claiming a malfunction of the landing gear system as a cause of this incident. Mr. Cassill accepted counseling, privacy data omitted he was agreeable to do what ever we feel is necessary, to satisfy federal regulations requirements. privacy data omitted
