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 admitted that he simply forgot to extend the gear before landing. He said that it was a beautiful night and although it was slightly after midnight, he did not feel fatigue was a factor. When questioned, he was unfamiliar with the warning indications that the gear was not down and locked for landing.
