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) N400CP departed Teterboro, new jersey (kteb) under an instrument flight plan in visual conditions. Upon departure, the aircraft's right main landing gear failed to indicate a retracted position. The PIC contacted air traffic control (ATC), returned to kteb landing on runway 1. As a result of notifying ATC of a potential landing gear problem, fire and rescue personnel responded. The aircraft landed without incident and taxied to the ramp unassisted. The pilot in command (PIC) spoke to mechanics at jet aviation located at kteb and was advised they were not equipped to repair N400CP. The PIC then called Gulfstream, spoke to privacy data omitted and was advised he should fly the aircraft gear down to barnes airport located in westfield, Massachusetts (kbaf) where repairs could be made. However, privacy data omitted advised the PIC he would need a "letter of no objection" from "engineering" or a ferry permit from the federal aviation administration (FAA) if he were to fly N400CP to kbaf. N400CP departed kteb without a ferry permit or a letter of no objection and landed at kbaf. The PIC was contacted in his hotel room and stated N400CP was flown to kbaf gear down.
