## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT LANDED WITH GEAR COLLAPSE EXCEPT NOSEGEAR. PILOT REPORTED UNSAFE INDICATION AFTER TOUCH AND GO APPROACH AT ASHVILLE,NC. PILOT CONTACTED ATC AND ADVISED THEM OF SITUATION. AFTER SEVERAL FLYBYS, PILOT RETURNED TO HOMEBASE 6A3 AND ATTEMPTED TO LOWER GEAR MANUALLY WITHOUT SUCCESS. HE THEN LANDED WITH NO INJURIES TO ANYONE ONBOARD (3 PASSENGERS). THIS IS THE SECOND GEAR UP LANDING FOR GILES IN THE LAST 60 DAYS. (INSPECTOR ED DESILVA, BHM FSDO IS WORKING GEAR UP LANDING AT SLYLACAUGA, AL) ON MOST RECENT INCIDENT A PASSENGER ON BOARD (NON-PILOT) SAID THAT HE OBSERVED THE LANDING AT ASHVILLE, NC AND HE BELIEVED THAT THE PILOT TOUCHED DOWN AT ASHVILLE AND THEN SAID THAT THERE WAS NOW A "GEAR PROBLEM".

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.
