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.

(-23) At approx. 13:17 local time on 9-29-99, C2XA flight 3038, from cle to pit, was making a visual approach on runway 28 right at pit. On about a 3.5 to 4.0 mile final flight 3038 advised the tower that they were having a problem with the landing gear, and that they would like to go around. Tower vectored flight 3038 araound for another approach to runway 28 right, and the crew requested that emergency equipment be standing by as a precaution. Flight 3038 advised the tower that the landing gear indicator circuit breaker had popped and was reset. This corrected the problem--all indications were normal. Flight 3038 landed without any further problems.
