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.

PIC narrative:

On August 5th 2026 at approximately 6:34 local time, I came in for landing at Port Alsworth (tpo). At the end of the landing rollout, I inadvertently retracted the landing gear instead of retracting the flaps. The plane came to a complete stop and I, the sole occupant, exited the aircraft.
