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.

During landing at Montrose rwy 13, pilot forgot to extend landing gear. The landing was in gusty 30 knot quartering headwinds that required power until touch down. The conditions were turbulent enough to distract him from verifying that the landing gear was extended.
