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.

The crew performed a missed approach, and then noticed the gear indicator was on. The crew cycled the gear, and all indications were normal. The crew decided to raise the gear, declare an emergency, and hand pumped the gear down. The aircraft landed at pit without further incident.
