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 approached runway 21 for a full stop landing at kfwb. He stated that initial contact on the runway was with the left landing gear and the aircraft bounced. However, the aircraft landed with all three gear in the retracted position. Post-incident investigation revealed no abnormality with the landing gear system.
