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) After takeoff, when landing gear lever was selected to the up position, the landing gear remained in the down and locked position. Aircraft returned to MDT and landed without incident. The landing gear control lever was replaced, and subsequent ops and functional checks were satisfactory.
