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.

Pilot stated that he was flying an instrument approach at Brown Field. He said that he forgot to lower the gear on the approach and landed gear up on the runway. Pilot also stated that when he departed mmtj and felt rushed because of the three to four minute flight to ksdm. This caused him to confuse his normal procedure flow during IFR operations.
