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.

On February 3, 2017, at approximately 1730 CDT a Beechcraft 200GT operated by weather modification inc. was involved in an incident involving the failure of the aircraft landing gear. VFR conditions prevailed at the time of the incident. The incident occurred on a flight from thief river falls MN (tvf) to Fargo ND (FAR). Upon preparation for landing at FAR, the gear failed to extend. Emergency procedures were utilized to extend the landing gear and the aircraft landed without further incident.

An SDR is being submitted by Fargo jet center (ctur).
