## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: BEECH B35, N3000V, LANDED WITH GEAR PARTIALLY EXTENDED. THE PILOT STATED THAT IN THE PATTERN HE SELECTED GEAR DOWN ON THE GEAR HANDLE AND THE GREEN GEAR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. WHEN HE LANDED, THE GEAR WAS PARTIALLY DOWN CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE GEAR DOORS, THE LANDING GEAR, AND THE PROPELLER. THE DAMAGE WAS MINOR AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
