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) Upon entering the traffic pattern, pilot experienced difficulties extending the landing gear. After recycling gear and following the recommended checklist procedures, the aircraft over flew the tower to check the gear. The right gear failed to extend. The pilot and student made a gear up emergency landing in the grass along side the runway. The aircraft only received minor damage and neither passenger was injured. Upon inspection of the aircraft, the right main landing gear pivot arm was found to be sheared therefore causing the right main gear to fail to extend.
