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.
Departed 7FLG and VFR inbound to dab. On approach gear did not fully extend. After troubleshooting the problem in the pattern for an hour and not able to extend nose gear, pilot was setting up to land the aircraft landed 34/16. Upon tear down and repair it was found the bellcrank for the nose gear had broken preventing the gear to extend either manually or mechanically.
