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

Instructor became confused between relationship of gear and the landing gear switch due to negative habit transfer from other aircraft. The student responded opposite instructor directions and CFI failed to verify gear down prior to touch down. CFI was at the controls demonstrating landing when incident occurred.
