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.
The instructor and student were working on commercial training maneuvers and traffic pattern work. While attempting a power off accuracy landing the instructor failed to notice that the student did not extend the landing gear. They continued the approach to the airport and landed the airplane gear up. The gear warning horn operated normally but failed to catch the attention of the instructor or student. The instructor indicated that they failed to complete a pre-landing check.
