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.

(-5)The pilot of N5315L stated he was departing runway 14 at Destin, FL. When he heard and felt something unusual; so he elected to abort the takeoff. He reduced the power and held back pressure until the prop and the nose of the airplane struck the ground. After the aircraft stopped and was deplaned the pilot stated he noticed the gear handle was in the up position. The pilot stated that he had the gear down on Friday when he landed and had no idea how the gear handle was placed in the up position. After the incident the pilot reviewed the electronic check list that he has been using and it does not include checking the gear handle in the preflight check list. Reviewing the landing gear schematic revealed that the gear warning horn and gear light are not interconnected to the gear handle, thus the pilot hadno warning that he had a disagreement with the gear handle prior to take off. privacy data omitted
