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 July 21,2008, at approximately 1400 MDT, N11 departed rwy 35 at Salt Lake City International Airport (kslc) on a local training flight. After departure the pilot in command (PIC) selected the landing gear to the up position. Approximately seven minutes later the crew noted that the landing gear did not retract and the gear unsafe light in the gear handle was illuminated. The PIC informed ATC they would like to return to the airport (kslc) due to a landing gear problem. The PIC requested a low approach flyby of the (kslc) control tower. The (kslc) tower informed the N11 crew that the landing gear appeared to be down. The second in command (SIC) entered a right downwind to rwn 35. On the final approach to rwn 35, the PIC took the flight controls and landed on rwn 35 with the landing gear handle in the down position with the unsafe light illuminated and no green lights. Shortly after touch down the aircraft main landing gear collapsed causing subtantial damage to the aircraft with no injuries to the crew.
