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.

On June 22, 2019 at about 8:20AM N74L was landing at sdl when the pilot and instructor pilot noticed a scraping sound while landing at which time full power was applied and a go around was initiated. The tower contacted N74L and informed them visually the gear was not fully down. Emergency checklist was consulted and it was found that the gear handle was down in the locked position but the circuit breaker had tripped. After pushing the tripped breaker in and out a few times, the landing gear cycled and seemed to be down. N74L performed a low approach so the tower could visually check gear down before attempting to land. Tower confirmed that the gear seemed to be down and cleared to land, and 74L landed without incident. On walk around after shutting the aircraft down the pilot noticed the prop ends where bent and the aft landing gear doors had damage from dragging on the ground.
