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 instructor pilot took control of the aircraft. Bulbs were swapped, gear cycled, emergency extension initiated but no down and locked indication could be achieved. Tower flyby and ATC reported gear appeared down and locked. Landing was initiated and aircraft touched down normally. Several seconds later the LH maingear began to collapse so engine shutdown and feather was performed. Aircraft skidded off runway into the grass.
