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.

During pre landing procedures it was noticed that left main gear green light indication does not illuminated. Several recycle procedures including emergency procedures failed to lower gear. Visual confirmation from ATC requested and informed that gear was up. Emergency was declared and left gear up landing was performed. Minor damage to aircraft was reported.
