## Narrative

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

(-23)WHILE MAKING A "WHEEL-LANDING" THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR SUPPORT TUBE FAILED CAUSING AIRCRAFT TO SETTLE ON ITS LEFT SIDE. THE PILOT HAD MAKING MULTIPLE PRACTICE TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS.  THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON HIS THIRD LANDING.  POST-INCIDENT INSPECTION REVEALED A CRACK HAD DEVELOPED WHICH WAS IN A DIFFICULT POSITION TO DETECT VISIBLY DURING ROUTINE PREFLIGHT INSPECTION.

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.
