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) While on approach to newark-heath airport (vta), heath, Ohio on October 7, 2007, the pilot privacy data omitted attempted to lower the landing gear when he noticed that the gear would not lock in the down position and the flaps were inoperative also. After completing a low pass of the runway the pilot privacy data omitted was informed by an individual at the FBO that it appeared that the nose gear was down but the main gear seemed to be trailing. After contacting Port Columbus approach control and being radar vectored to the Port Columbus airport (kcmh) a low approach was conducted for the tower to observe the gear. Tower personnel advised it appeared the nose gear was down but the main gear seemed to be trailing. After departing the traffic pattern the pilot privacy data omitted completed several maneuvers in an unsuccessful attempt to force the main gear to a down and locked position. Following the maneuvering the pilot privacy data omitted was cleared for a landing at cmh on runway 10L. The approach and landing was completed with the nose gear down and the main landing gear not in the down and locked position. After landing the aircraft ended up coming to a stop on taxiway J4 short. The pilot privacy data omitted was not injured and there was no fire.
