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 a night VFR checkout flight at the Glendale, AZ airport, the pilot and student failed to extend the landing gear prior to landing. The flight instructor failed to properly supervise student during touch and go takeoffs and landings insuring that the landing gear was extended prior to landing. The instructor was distracted while emphasizing radio procedures to the other pilot. The aircraft's landing gear warning horn reportedly failed to sound when the engine power was reduced below 14 inches of manifold pressure. The aircraft's propeller, flaps, belly skin, antennas, and gear doors were damaged by the gear up landing. At this time, no causal factors are known.
