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 pilot privacy data omitted and his student had been shooting touch and go approaches. On their 4th approach, the gear was left in the "up" position. The crew had heard the gear warning horn during their air work, but neither crewmember heard it on this approach until the instant the propeller contacted the runway.
