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

NARRATIVE: PILOT REPORTED, THAT AFTER LANDING AND TAXIING TO HANGER, AIRCRAFT WAS PUT INTO A LEFT TURN. DURING THIS TURN LEFT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. MINOR DAMAGE TO LEFT WING. UPON INSPECTION OF THE LEFT LANDING GEAR IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DOWN LOCK BELL CRANK BROKE. M & D REPORT WAS SUBMITTED.

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.
