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) Mr. Gunter stated initially the reason for the accident was that he did not extend the gear for landing; however there were extenuating circumstances that he wanted to discuss. Mr. Gunter had recently completed his instrument proficiency check (11/11/03) and was practicing flying under an IFR flight plan. He filed an IFR flight plan ful to cno and was cleared for the cno ILS 26R approach. When established on the 26R LOC he was instructed to contact cno tower. Switching to cno tower, Mr. Gunter stated there was another aircraft on frequency. Cno tower instructed the other aircraft to "make short approach, and asked if he could slow down and make "s" turns. Mr. Gunter agreed to make "s" turns but was having trouble spotting the aircraft making the short approach. Mr. Gunter finally spotted the aircraft ahead of him. Mr. Gunter feels that by cno tower clearing the other aircraft in front of him when he was on an IFR approach, he was distracted which caused him to forget his before landing check list; gump". privacy data omitted privacy data omitted
