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) Pilots got a low hydraulic pressure and low hydraulic level. The pilot pulled "t" handle and got a nose green and a left main green light. The tower was notified and did a fly by a few times by the fire/emergency crew. The tower informed the pilot the right main was not out of the gear well at all. The pilot asked for a block altitude and did different maneuvers to try and get the gear down. At some point the pilot pulled the nitrogen bottle. They made the landing with the right wing grinding the runway. Lost the fuel out of the right wing. This 135 operator is going to submit an m or d, as required by their manual.
