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.

Shortly before 1PM on June 4, 2012 I departed kboi for a couple of touch and goes as I had not flown my plane for a couple of weeks.  I climbed off of 28L for left pattern and retracted the landing gear.  Established on midfield downwind I selected gear down and noticed no gear down green light. I checked my gear mirror, could see my nose gear out and recycled the gear up to down and still no green light. I checked the gear down light and it would illuminate.  Told the tower I was having gear problems and they suggested right 360'S and I complied.  I completed at least 10 more gear up to down cycles including emergency extension with the hand pump. Still no green light. I told tower I still had no green light, and accepted landing clearance on 28L. They said they had alerted the fire trucks and they would be standing by. On short final I set the fuel selected to off and shut the master switch off.  Pulled the throttle to idle and touched down lightly on the mains.  I held the nose wheel off until I had no more elevator authority and the nose wheel touched lightly, held for a few seconds and collapsed. I skidded to a stop in a few hundred feet. Sincerely, privacy data omitted
