## Narrative

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

(-23)AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON ROLL OUT OF LANDING. PILOT STATED THAT GEAR WAS DOWN AND HAD A GREEN LIGHT THAT LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.  EYEWITNESS REPORTED THAT GEAR WAS DOWN DURING APPROACH.  THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS DAMAGED AND BOTH PROPELLERS BLADES CONTACTED THE RUNWAY, CURLING THEM.

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.
