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) While attempting to land on runway 33 at 20N, pilot stated that he lowered the landing gear switch and set flaps as required. Upon preparation for landing, pilot noticed that the aircraft was not decreasing in speed as normal and as aircraft continued to settle it was apparent the landing gear should have already made contact. Full power was applied and a go around initiated. Aircraft accelerated quickly, pilot set pitch attitude to 10 deg rom 12 deg in flare attitude. When lowering the nose the propeller struck the runway. The aircraft continued to climb to 500 ft. the pilot stated that he then reviewed the cockpit configuration and noted that there was no down indication for the landing gear even though the switch was selected down. Following a check of the landing gear cb an emergency gear extension was performed followed by a safe landing. Inspection of the aircraft by maintenance confirmed excessive play in the landing gear drive system to be the cause of the landing gears failure to extend. The landing gear warning horn was also found to be inoperative.
