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) Scott neisler piloted Mooney M20 N5747V from clt to eho and on landing did not lower the landing gear, subsequently landed the aircraft with the gear up causing minor damage to the aircraft belly plate, nose gear doors, propeller and engine. Mr. Neisler stated that clt ATC kept him high (3500') until almost in the traffic pattern on left down wind at Shelby Municipal Airport, this distracted his attention and he did not use the check list and "forgot" to lower the gear. He was remorse and apologetic for his actions, and said that in the past he was always careful to use the check list while flying.
