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) Aircraft was landed gear up on a new runway that was under construction. The new runway is 1/4 mile east of current runway but airport rotating beacon sits next to the runway that is being graded. No injuries were sustained; aircraft damage was limited to propeller, exhaust and minor scraping of belly skin. No NOTAMS were in place regarding new construction at this location. A recommendation was made to the city regading a NOTAM for public safety.
