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 March 1, 2008, at approximately 1700 CDT, the pilot and single occupant of N73622, a Cessna model TR182, executed a gear up landing on runway 16 of Andrews County Airport (E11). The pilot stated he was performing touch and gos in order to practice landing techniques. He stated that on the previous touch and go, he retracted the landing gear and then flew around the pattern to perform another landing. On approach to landing the pilot stated he became fixated on the use of light control inputs on the control column and neglected to lower the landing gear. Upon hearing the propeller blades contact the runway, the pilot stated he added full throttle and placed the gear handle in the down position. The aircraft then veered to the left and exited the runway, coming to rest in the adjacent clear zone. The aircraft sustained damage to both propeller blades, lower fuselage and outboard left wing leading edge. The pilot was not injured.
