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.
At about 50 miles from Burnet airport (bmq), the electrical system failed causing the battery to drain and the aircraft to lose all electrical power. About three miles from bmq, pilot lowered the landing gear, but had no lights to confirm gear had extended. Pilot executed the gear manual override and contacted the bmq FBO to confirm if the gear was down. Personnel at the FBO did confirm the gear was down and the pilot proceeded to land his aircraft. Aircraft landed and began to rollout when the nose landing gear collapsed.
