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 pilot landed on ADS runway 33. The wx was clear and winds out of the north at 11, gust to 15. Examination of the aircraft showed the landing gear switch to be in the ?up? Position. The fuel selector was in the ?off? Position. No circuit breakers were ?open?.

The aircraft was raised by slings and a crane. Power was applied to the aircraft by the aircraft battery. When the throttle was pulled back to almost idle position, the landing gear warning horn did sound. The landing gear selector switch was selected to the gear ?down? Position and the landing gear extended normally.
