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.

After departure from abq, the pilot experienced an airspeed indicator failure where the airspeed indication dropped to near zero by the time the aircraft had climbed through 9000 feet MSL. Upon return to the airport 25 minutes after take-off the pilot did not declare an emergency condition during communications with both approach and tower controllers. The pilot failed to extend the landing gear before landing and failed to recognize the gear warning horn during short final through flair to landing. The aircraft touched down on its belly on runway 8 with the landing gear secured in the "up" position. The aircraft slide to a stop with no injury to occupants and without a post-crash fire.
