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 was acting as a part 135 flight instructor, conducting pattern work with an initial new hire. Neither pilot remembered to put the gear down, and a last second waveoff by ATC allowed a rejected landing, but not before the propeller tips contacted the runway surface. No unusual vibrations were noted during the go-around, and a routine landing followed.
