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 and his plan was to execute a touch and go. Shortly after touchdown he added power for the touch and go and the nose of the airplane lowered and hit the ground. The nose gear had not been extended resulting in a gear up landing. The pilot got out and picked up the nose of the airplane and pushed it clear of the runway. This airplane has fixed main mount gear and a hand crank retractable nose gear.
