## Narrative

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

THIS AIRCRAFT HAS A MECHANICALLY OPERATED LANDING GEAR SYSTEM WITH NO DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION SYSTEM. VERIFICATION OF GEAR EXTENSION IS BY VISIBLE OBSERVATION ONLY. PASSENGER WAS CYNTHIA MEKLER WHOSE HUSBAND IS A CO-OWNER OF AIRCRAFT WITH ROBERT SANBORN.

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.
