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.

Pilot stated that during landing he experienced an audible warning of possible gear not locked or switch not made, although he could see three wheels from the cockpit. In the interest of safety he requested a go around from the tower. The tower asked what the problem was. The pilot gave them the simple answer he wasn?t sure the gear was locked. The pilot stated that he cycled the gear twice and had no further issues during landing. No emergency was requested or declared by the pilot.
