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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) After t/o on 24R the right main gear would not completely retract. A low fly by was performed and the tower verified the right gear was not fully extended. Pilot tried to cycle the gear, but still showed an unsafe condition on the right main gear. The pilot cycled the gear cb and then performed the emergency gear extension procedure. The right main gear still indicated an unsafe condition. The pilot declared an emergency and then landed the aircraft on rwy 24R. At touch down the co-pilot shut down both engines. The right main gear completely collapsed after landing and the aircraft skidded off the right side of the runway hitting part of the VASI system with the right wing. Damage to the aircraft appeared to be minor.
