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 rollout, N257AG experienced a retraction of failure of the left/right and nose landing gear. N257AG experienced damage to the following components: left and right propeller blades, landing gear support brackets, all three gear doors, lower fuselage skin damage; and antenna and beacon light, left and right inboard flaps. A complete teardown report of the electrically operated landing gear system is strongly recommended if a failure occurred inthe landing gear systems that may have caused the gear to collapse during landing.
