## Narrative

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

PILOT REPORTED, MLG FAILURE OF DOWN AND LOCK, PERFORMED FLY BY TOWER, UNCONFIRMED; PILOT RETRACTED THE GEAR AND LANDED ON A/C BELLY.

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.
