## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT WAS MAKING A LOCAL TEST FLIGHT TO CHECK THE AUTO PILOT. THE PILOT APPARENTLY GOT DETRACTED WITH THE AUTO PILOT AND FAILED TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR WHEN MAKING HIS LANDING ON RUNWAY 14 AT SHREVEPORT REGIONAL AIRPORT.

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.
