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 landed gear up. Mr. Mcelroy stated that he lowered the landing gear on downwind to runway 34 but did not check the gear light or look out of the window to confirm that his gear was down. He stated that he did not check the gear light until on short final and it was too late. Power was immediately applied but the aircraft settled onto the runway. The aircraft skidded off of the right side of the runway and came to rest on the grass slightly over half the length of the 4,234 foor runway.
