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 had completed 4 touch-and-go landings on runway 24 at Coeurdalene, ID (kcoe). On the 5th pattern he was configured to land with the gear down when he heard an aircraft call over UNICOM landing runway 20. The pilot initiated a go-around due to the possible traffic conflict. The traffic conflict resolved so the pilot decided to continue the landing on runway 24. The aircraft landed runway 24 with the gear up causing minor damage to the propeller and underside of the aircraft.
