## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE NUMBER FOUR MAIN WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND MISSING BY GROUND CREW AFTER THE AIRCRAFT PARKED ON THE RAMP. THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY WAS LATER FOUND ON THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 24. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION BY MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL REVEALED THAT THE AXLE NUT HAD BEEN PULLED OFF THE AXLE THREADS. THE TAIL SKID HAD HIT THE RUNWAY, AND THE RIGHT INBOARD FLAP HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY THE DEPARTING WHEEL ASSEMBLY. MAINTENANCE REPLACED DAMAGED FLAP AND CABLES, REPAIRED TAIL BUMPER, REPLACED AXLE SLEEVE, PERFORMED NDT INSPECTION OF RIGHT GEAR, CHANGED BOTH NUMBER 3 AND NUMBER 4 MAIN WHEEL ASSEMBLIES, AND PERFORMED A HARD LANDING INSPECTION.

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.
