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 60-AMP landing gear motor circuit breaker failed internally and tripped, preventing normal extension of the gear. The manual gear extension procedure was executed incorrectly preventing alternate extension of the gear. A gear-up landing was executed.
