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.
Ip privacy data omitted was conducting multiengine flight instruction in a Beechcraft dutchess (BE-76) aircraft. During a take-off maneuver the student reached down and brought the landing gear handle to the "up" position before the ip could stop him resulting in the gear retracting. The ip managed to keep the main landing gear from retracting by immediately returning the gear handle to the down position and reducing power. The nose gear however had already began to retract resulting in the aircraft striking the runway on its nose causing minor damage.
