## Narrative

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

(-23)AIRCRAFT WAS COMING IN FOR A LANDING AND HIT A TRAILER THAT WAS BEING PULLED BY A TRUCK. A/C LOST THE LEFT LANDING GEAR.  PILOT MANAGED TO LAND ON THE RUN WAY AND VEERED OFF INTO THE GRASS.  MINOR DAMAGE TO THE A/C AND NO ONE WAS INJURED.  PILOT WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT ONBOARD THE A/C.

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.
