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

After a slow pass in which the tower confirmed the gear was down, the pilot retracted the gear and came around for a landing. When he looked at the check list and called gear down, he observed the johnson bar was down and just not thinking, he said gear was down.
