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.

Upon landing at "sun" the pilot extended the landing gear and verifyed down and locked position by means of mirrors and tabs. During roll out the aft main gear retracted and the floats came to rest on the runway. Airport personal arrived and assisted the pilot on removing the aircraft from the runway. Minor damage to the skip strip on the bottom of the floats.
