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) On Sunday February 20, 2005, approximately 13:30 CST the pilot privacy data omitted landed on runway 27 at axh and failed to extend the landing gear. The aircraft touched down approximately 800-1000 down the runway and came to a stop. The flaps were fully extended during landing. The pilot stated that he was moving the aircraft from wolf air park (3T2) to Houston south west airport (axh). He also said the flight was uneventful until the landing. He stated that he did not check the green light on the landing gear. However, the red light went out. The aircraft did not have a current registration, AFM and only two seats. There was no weight and balance in the aircraft. Two people at the airport stated the aircraft never extended the landing gear. Maintenance will investigate further.
