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) Pilot departed from aircraft and retracted landing gears, could not get a retract indication so he tried to extend landing gears and could not get a down & locked indication. Called someone on ground as he did a fly by and they verified the landing gears were down. As the pilot proceeded to land the aircraft the landing gears collapsed on impact thus causing a gear-up landing. Minor damage to propeller, flaps, nose landing gear door and rear steps along with fuselage belly & antennas.
