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.

He performed a "low pass maneuver" over the airport and the FBO personnel said the gear appeared to be down. He made a normal approach for landing without any indication in the cockpit that the gear was down and locked. Upon touchdown the aircraft right main gear collapsed and the aircraft skidded to a stop, striking the right propeller.
