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 and only occupant was unable to get a safe gear condition on approach to aspen, CO. He diverted to jeffco airport (bjc) broomfield, CO due to better facilities. A tower fly-by confirmed the nose gear was down and locked but both main gears were not. The pilot made a main gear up landing on rw 29R. The aircraft remained on the rw throughout the landing and came to rest near taxiway A2. The aircraft sustained major damage to the left horizontal stabilizer and minor damage to the gear doors and underside of the tail boom. The pilot was not injured.
