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.

N27FM was flown from tjig to tjvq with the intent of practicing several touch-and-go landings at tjvq. After an uneventful first approach and landing, the PIC of N27FM remained in the left traffic pattern for runway 09 and attempted a second touch-and-go. On the second approach to runway 09, the aircraft settled down on the runway with the gear-up and came to a complete stop several hundred feet away from the initial touchdown point suffering minor damage.
