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 stated that while on final approach smoke appeared in the cockpit. When he landed the gear retracted. An investigation revealed a mechanical problem with the switching mechanism to the gear motor. This caused the gear motor to continuously operate. This caused the gear motor to become hot and smoke and the gear to retract.
