## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT STATED THAT WHEN THE AIRCRAFT CLEARED THE RUNWAY, HE PROCEEDED TO TAXI TO THE NORTH RAMP WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON THE RAMP AND TAXIING STRAIGHT AHEAD, THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED. FORT WORTH FLIGHT STANDARDS DISTRICT OFFICE (FSDO) WILL FORWARD A COPY OF THE MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT REPORT ON THIS AIRCRAFT TO THE BATON ROUGE FSDO. THE PILOT HAS BEEN TERMINATED BY THE COMPANY AND COULD NOT BE LOCATED BY TELEPHONE FOR CREW HISTORY DATA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
