## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT STATED HE WAS MAKING A NORMAL LANDING WITH THE GEAR EXTENDED. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED A SHORT DISTANCE, AND THE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PILOT SUSPECTS HE DIDN'T GET THE MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION HANDLE USED ON THIS MODEL AIRCRAFT FULLY LOCKED IN THE "DOWN" POSITION. THE PILOT WAS UNINJURED AND THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
