## Narrative

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

(-23)DURING THE PREVIOUS WEEK THE AIRCRAFT HAD REPAIRS DONE BECAUSE THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR 'DOWN' LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THIS WAS THE FIRST FLIGHT SINCE THE MAINTENANCE.  PILOT STATED THAT HE REMEMBERS SELECTING THE GEAR DOWN BUT DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER WHETHER HE CHECKED THAT THE GEAR DOWN LOGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED.  HE LANDED AT OKEECHOBEE AIRPORT WITH THE GEAR UP.

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.
