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) On Monday September 17th at approx. 20:00 MDT, a Cessna 172RG, N6272R, while attempting to land on runway 20, the propeller struck the ground and the aircraft sustained minor damage at Cedar City Regional Airport (cdc). The aircraft was being operated for instructional flight by the pilot CFI and a commercial student pilot. After several takeoffs and landings and various maneuvers, the student pilot was attempting to land the aircraft when both pilots heard and felt the propeller strike the ground and realized the gear had not been extended. The CFI immediately pitched up the aircraft and added full power, instructed the student to extend the gear and land straight ahead. The aircraft landed without further incident. Weather was not a factor.
