## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS MAKING AN APPROACH ON RUNWAY 27 AT ATHENS BEN EPPS AIRPORT. SHORTLY AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.  AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF TO THE LEFT AND LANDED IN A GRASSY AREA.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^                                             (SEE INSPECTOR'S STATEMENT FOR DETAILS).

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.
