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 PIC had just purchased the aircraft and on was on the ferry flight to his hometown. For this flight and for insurance requirements he had a instructor on board.

Bzn was busy as they made their approach for landing. The PIC felt rushed and forgot to put the gear down and the instructor did not catch the misstep.
