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.

During final approach to landing the pilot failed to deploy the landing gear resulting in the prop contacting the runway. Pilot?s failure to utilize a written check list and react to audible warning resulted in the prop coming in contact with the runway. Pilot initiated a go around and circled for landing. Inspection of the airframe revealed no damage to the aircraft airframe. Damage to the propeller was confirmed during post flight inspection. Pilot fatigue was a contributing factor associated with this incident.
