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) The flight was an instructional ride for currency. While reducing speed and configuring the aircraft for slow slight they got an unsafe gear light. They tried emergency gear extension and cycling the gear, they could not get it to clear. They notified base and two other aircraft were launched to see if they could see anything. They discovered a red rag lodged in the nose gear mechanism. They informed the tower at San Angelo and landed. The nose gear collapsed on roll out. Minor damage to the nose gear doors and two of the propeller blades were damaged.
