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.
Nose gear down and locked green light indication was not illuminated. Pilot cycled the gear several times and still no nose gear down and locked green indication. Pilot thought that it must be a burnt out bulb and landed the aircraft without following the emergency procedures in the flight manual. Nose gear collapsed on landing.
