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.
On 8/2/2023 a Cessna 177RG landed gear up at the Burlington Alamance regional airport on runway 24. The plane was operated by an ATP pilot who was the sole occupant on board and had no reported injuries. The pilot stated that they had become distracted during the flight and failed to extend the landing gear. Mechanical failure of the landing gear was not a factor. The pilot stated that the gear horn did not sound and the gear horn was confirmed to be inoperative when the aircraft was inspected at a maintenance facility after the incident. Several witnesses reported that they saw the gear handle in the up position shortly after the aircraft had landed.
