## Narrative

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

(-23) A/C WAS FLYING A PRACTICAL TEST FOR AN INITIAL CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RATING. THE APPLICANT HAD THE EXAMINER FLYING THE A/C FOR A SHORT FIELD LANDING WHILE THE APPLICANT GAVE INSTRUCTION. THE APPLICANT ALLOWED THE A/C TO MAKE THE APPROACH AND LANDING WITHOUT VERIFYING THAT THE GEAR WAS EXTENDED.

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.
