## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: FLIGHT WAS AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, LANDING GEAR WAS SELECTED DOWN ON FINAL APPROACH. THE LANDING GEAR DID NOT EXTEND DUE TO A TRIPPED LANDING GEAR CONTROL / WARNING CIRCUIT BREAKER. THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR THE ABSENSE OF GEAR SAFE/LOCKED LIGHTS WAS NOT RECOGNIZED BY EITHER PILOT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED WITH THE GEAR RETRACTED. INVESTIGATION CONTINUES CONCERNING THE LANDING GEAR CONTROL/WARNING CIRCUITRY AND CIRCUIT BREAKER.

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.
