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.
The pilot was flying the aircraft, which he had recently purchased, for the purpose of gaining familiarity and proficiency. The pilot became distracted with controlling the airspeed and on identifying proper power and flap settings to obtain desired speeds. As a result, the pilot failed to lower the landing gear prior to touchdown.
