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.

While practicing landings with a student, the pic/flight instructor failed to extend the landing gear to the down position which led to landing on a runway with the gear in the retracted/up position. The gear system including warning horn was operative. The airplane suffered minor damage. Both occupants of the airplane were not injured.
