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 October 7, 2020 at approximately 16:15 CDT, N28409 a Cessna T310Q, registration pending to privacy data omitted, operated by airline transport pilot acting as a designated pilot examiner, during a multi engine check ride experienced a landing gear retracted landing. During configuration of the aircraft for slow flight an unusual yaw was experienced, subsequent noise was heard from the left main gear upon extension with an unsafe gear indication.
