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) Pilot was having trouble with his GPS and was adjusting it while landing. During this time the landing gear warning sounded but the pilot failed to identify it as such. The first indication that he recognized as a problem was when he heard the propeller blades strike the ground. The result was a gear up landing.
