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.

All crew and passengers evacuated the airplane via the air stairs and there were injuries reported. The flight crew reported a gear indication problem to air traffic controllers and performed a low pass for air traffic control tower observation. The tower observed the right main landing gear in the retracted position. After performing the airplane quick reference handbook (qrh), the crew landed the airplane with the right main landing gear retracted. The airplane sustained minor damage to the right wing tip, right flap assemblies, and right flap pylon assemblies. The right main landing gear door was up and the right main gear was locked in its wheel well.
