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 airman was landing the complex aircraft and upon touchdown, heard scraping noise and commenced a go-around. His statement is that he forgot to extend the landing gear. During postflight examination, the propeller, flap, passenger step and tail made contact with the runway. The second landing was completed without further incident.
