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.

The privacy data omitted operator of N7133V admitted that he simply forgot to extend the landing gear on downwind and subsequently landed on runway 28 at Oakdale Airport (O27) with the whells retracted. The damage was limited to the underbelly and propller and nose gear doors and an antenna.

The sole occupant/pilot did not have a gear warning system installed on the airplane. VFR conditions prevailed and no distractions occurred. No injuries.
