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 4/25/25 privacy data omitted, a Cessna 335, landed gear up at ksgu, St George Regional Airport sustaining minimal damage. Pilot stated that he failed to complete a full landing checklist due to hypoxia. He said he believes that he was not receiving a sufficient flow of oxygen during higher altitude portions of the flight. He stated he was using a rebreather type oxygen system and had determined it was operating but believes it was not at full oxygen output or some other issue. During the approach into ksgu he stated that he moved the gear lever from the up position to the neutral (middle) position and did not realize it was not fully down. He said his normal procedure was to perform a minimum of two before landing checklist flows but that he did not on this occasion.
