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.

Aircraft was just released from paint shop on airport, owner/pilot departed to fly the pattern since aircraft was painted. Pilot advised when he extended the landing gears he did not get all (3) green lights and the l/h MLG stayed red. The pilot proceeded to extend & retract landing gear system multiple times with no success on the l/h MLG light. Pilot landed aircraft and the l/h MLG eventually collapsed on rollout.
