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.
Inbound VFR to vrb, pilot could not get positive gear down indication. Manual extension procedures were attempted, and ATC informed the pilot that the gear appeared to be down. A careful landing was made, but the nose gear folded late in the rollout, below 50 knots, when "up" elevator could no longer keep weight off the forward end of the aircraft.
