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.
The aircraft departed from trinidad, Colorado operating under title 14 part 135 cargo operations. During climb out the crew noticed that the right main gear did not retract. The crew then tried numerous times to lower and raise the right main gear without success and evetually loss all hydraulic pressure. The crew elected to circle for approximately one hour to burn off fuel and land with gear in the partially down position. The gear collapsed during landing and the aircraft sustained minor damage to the fuselage and wings.
