## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: UPON LANDING, THE LEFT LANDING GEAR LEG BROKE JUST INBOARD OF THE BRAKE DISC. THE LEFT WING TIP BOW HAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LOWER WING. THIS MATTER IS CLOSED.

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.
