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) Aircraft landed with the landing gear up. Aircraft damage is minor with prop tips curled around, scraped belly skins and damage to the trailing edge of the wing flaps. An employee of the town of Massena who was mowing the grass between the runway and taxiway asked the crew what happened, and privacy data omitted stated that they forgot to put the landing gear handle down. The plane was then towed to the aircraft parking area.
