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 pilot stated that on approach to gfl that the flaps were non responsive when selected. The pilot resigned to the fact that he would need accomplish a "no flap" landing, however, while preoccupied with troubleshooting the flap issue, the pilot continued the approach and neglected to select the landing gear down prior to touchdown. The result was a gear up landing with minor damage to the aircraft and no injuries to the pilot.
