## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND NORMALLY. PIC ATTEMPTED EMERGENCY EXTENSION PROCEDURES. GEAR EXTENDED 1/3 OF TRAVEL. PILOT LANDED AIRCRAFT ON GRASS AREA NEXT TO THE RUNWAY. THE PIC WAS NOT INJURED AND THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE ( A BELLY ANTENNA WAS BENT.) REQUESTED M OR D FROM LUMANAIR, INC.

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.
