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 stated that after maintenance he departed mev for cxp. He stated he had entered the traffic pattern and could not align with the runway so he executed a missed approach. Upon touchdown the landing gear remained retracted damaging the propeller and minimal damage to the underside of the fuselage. No damage was evident on the flaps
