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.

During landing (flair) on runway 22 at ama the pilot realized the landing gear was not extended when he heard scraping sounds. He applied power, gained altitude, and extended the gear, landing without further incident.

Inspection of the aircraft revealed damage to both prop blades and all the antenna on the bottom of the aircraft.
