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 stated he had just completed a normal landing on runway 32 at Dothan airport (dhn). Upon rollout he thought that he must have flipped the landing gear switch, thinking it was the flap lever. The aircraft landing gear collapsed traveling at about 30 knots and slid to a stop 50 yards down the runway.
