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 was practicing takeoff and landings at Chino Airport, CA. After three takeoff and landings he decided to practice an ILS approach. He stated he was being given a lot of instructions from the tower. Pilot stated he had raised his landing gear after takeoff. He then lowered flaps and landing gear to slow down and comply with tower instruction. Pilot stated when tower told him to resume speed he raised the gear. On final pilot stated he had his flaps in his normal landing configuration and assumed gear was down. He contunued until he contacted the runway realizing he had not lowered his gear back down. Plane was taken to a facility where the gear was checked for operability. Gear performed normally.
