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.

After takeoff landing gear did not retract when commanded; emergency extenson performed followed by normal landing. Gear swing revealed nose strut stuck compressed, preventing squat switch from opening to allow gear retraction. Strut resealed and serviced.
