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 an instructional flight the landing gear did not extend on the right main. After discussion with company maintenance personnel it was decided to electrically retract the landing gear and land gear up and flaps 15 degrees. The landing was accomplished with all three gear up and flaps 15 degrees. The landing was uneventful.
