## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT LANDED AT DIA. PILOT CLAIMED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT OR HORN. HE SAID THAT HE DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN AND LOCKED UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED ON THE RUNWAY. MAINTENANCE CLAIMS THAT A FUNCTIONAL CHECK WAS PERFORMED ON THE LANDING GEAR WARNING SYSTEM AND IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE, THE PRESSURE VESSEL WAS NOT DAMAGED. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
