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) This is the word for word pilot's statement, exactly as written. "I had been flying locally for about 15 minutes and returned to the field 42B. I went through landing check off list and landed. It seemed as if I had blown a tire, but as the plane stopped moving I saw the gear was not down."
