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.

While in the landing phase of a personal flight, the pilot in command (PIC) failed to conduct a pre-landing checklist, leading to a gear-up landing. This resulted in the aircraft landing with its wheels retracted, causing minor damage to the fuselage and propeller.
