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.
PIC, philipp wild, was landing at mcclellan-Palomar airport. Within moments of touchdown, the control tower operator observed the landing gear was not extended and directed the pilot to "go around." Wild applied full power and executed a takeoff, but not before the propeller struck the runway. Wild completed a circuit of the airport traffic pattern and subsequently landed safely.
