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 last intended approach to stop and go landing at night, newly rated multi CFI was simulating a single engine approach to landing. As multi student in left seat (asel pvt) reached to select flaps down, CFI corrected student to select gear only and thought the student then did so. Aircraft then landed gear up. CFI will contact AZ fsdo-sdl spm to discuss this matter and possibly coordinate his speaking at the next safety seminar about his incident.
