## Narrative

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

(-23)THE PILOT STATED THAT HE LOWERED AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR HANDLE TO THE GEAR DOWN POSITION. HE SAW THAT THE LANDING GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT WAS GREEN AND PROCEEDED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON THE RUNWAY.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT WAS STUCK IN THE PRESS-TO-TEST POSITION.  A DEFECTIVE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN WAS ALSO DISCOVERED.  NO NEAR MID-COLLISION.  NO FIRE.

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.
