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)Pilot stated that he had to carry power throughout the approach thereby silencing the gear horn. When he did reduce the power the gear horn did sound but it did not register. As a result, he landed gear up causing minor aircraft damage. No injuries to the pilot or his passenger.
