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) Private pilot was receiving instruction for an upcoming commercial certificate check ride when the pilot failed to follow the aircraft checklist to lower the landing gear before landing. The flight instructor failed to maintain a safe environment by insuring the student was following procedures and verify the checklist items were completed prior to touchdown.
