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.

Flight had departed sac enroute to san. Cockpit crew reported to company mx personnel as follows. Landing gear retraction after t/o was normal. However, on placement of landing gear handle to "off" position, the handle would not move. Both cockpit crew members attempted to move the handle to no avail. Following company and airplane procedures, an emergency extension of the landing gear was made, and the aircraft landed at oak for mx availability and longer available runway.
