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) Flight instructor states that during approach to landing on runway 18 at cmsu max b. swisher Skyhaven Airport (9K4), Warrensburg, Missouri, the gear warning horn sounded. However, due to the airport congestion, he and his student "somehow managed to tune the warning horn out."

As the aircraft settled onto the runway, and the scraping noise intensified, pilot reynolds observed the propeller striking the pavement, at which time he "realized what had happened." Aircraft came to rest with minor damage. Neither pilot was injured. This incident privacy data omitted is considered closed.
