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.

Pilot was landing on rwy 17 at ksln and landed with the gear in the up position. Pilot stated he does not remember what happened during the landing, but he did observe the landing gear handle in the down position after landing. Pilot did not remember if the landing gear handle was moved down before or after he landed. Pilot later provided a signed statement admitting it was his error and that he missed setting the landing gear down on his check list.
