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.
When the landing gear was extended prior to landing, the down and locked indicator did not illuminate. A visual verification by the pilot determined that the gear was extended but the gear doors were not closed. After landing, the nose gear collapsed, damaging the propeller and the nose landing gear doors.
