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.

Final, put the gear down, and hard landing. The pilot stated that in

Honesty, he did not check the light or mirror . . . Wind was a little crazy

And he was making sure to stay on track. The FBO that assisted with recovering the aircraft from the runway provided a statement indicating that upon arrival at the aircraft noticed the landing gear control in the "up" position. The aircraft was then hoisted and while in the air, turned on aircraft power and was hearing the gear warning horn. The mechanic selected the gear handle to the down position and found the gear would come down and locked with the gear horn quitting at that time. Aircraft was towed to hangar for further investigation.
