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 completing approximately one hour of airwork, with the landing gear warning horn sounding almost continuously, the pilot in command allowed himself to become "desensitized" to the sound of the warning horn and landed the aircraft with the landing gear retracted.
