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 was practicing approaches at the Colorado Springs airport, runway 35L, with a pilot friend. After three approaches, the pilot elected to perform some touch and go landings. ATC cleared the aircraft to enter the downwind for 35R. The pilot noted an airliner taxiing out and another aircraft at the departure end of the runway and decided to make a shortened approach so as not to delay the waiting aircraft. The pilot friend was flying the aircraft at this time. The base leg was high and power was reduced. The final approach was slightly high over the runway numbers. During the flare, the nose appeared to be low and the PIC corrected the low nose attitude and returned the controls back to the pilot friend. A few moments later, the aircraft landed with the gear in the up position.
