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.

Aircraft owner /operator employed a CFI to provide instruction and familiarization of the local airspace. After numerous landings the CFI stated that he would demonstrate a short field landing and he assumed control of the aircraft. Subsequently the aircraft landed without the gear being extended.
