## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT INDICATED SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD A GREEN GEAR DOWN INDICATION PRIOR TO TAKE-OFF. PILOT SELECTED GEAR UP AFTER TAKE-OFF AND NOTICED THE AMBER GEAR IN TRANSIT LIGHT WAS NOT LIGHTED, THE VISABLE LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR CLUTCH ARM WAS NOT MOVING, AND NONE OF THE OTHER GEAR INDICATOR LAMPS, RED AND GREEN, WERE LIGHTED.  PILOT SELECTED GEAR DOWN, PERFORMED MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION, AND STILL NO GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS.  PILOT WAS TOLD BY CONTROL TOWER THE GEAR APPEARED TO BE DOWN.  PILOT LANDED AND DURING THE ROLL-OUT THE GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LEFT BRAKE CAILIPER, LEFT GEAR DOOR, RIGHT GEAR DOOR, AND TIPS OF WOODEN PROP.  RECOVERY EFFORTS CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ENGINE COWLING.  PILOT'S MARRIED NAME IS PIERCE.

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.
