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) During extension of landing gear, right main gear failed to extend after repeated attempts to lower the gear. Visual inspection of the gear retraction/extension mechanism revealed mechanical failure of the internal components of the gear box. Assembly will be removed from the aircraft for further investigation.
