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) On approach to ric, the pilot failed to lower the landing gear. On flair, the pilot felt something was wrong and applied full power for a go-around. Before the pilot could establish a positive rate of climb, the aircraft contacted the runway. The go-around was completed and the aircraft landed without further incident at ric. Damage to the aircraft was minor. The pilot had a very long flying day. This was the 8th landing of the day.
