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.

Once tower personnel verified adequate spacing with other landing aircraft, they cleared the pilot for landing. The pilot failed to extent the landing gear, the aircraft struck the runway surface, causing minor aircraft damage, and no injuries to the sole occupant. No damage to airport property.
