## Narrative

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

(-23)ACCORDING TO THE PILOT IN COMMAND, UPON LANDING THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE LANDING GEAR FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AND THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM. THE LANDING GEAR WAS RECYCLED 4 TIMES. THE GEAR IS DESIGNED SUCH THAT IF IT COLLAPSES ON LANDING, IT WILL NOT RETURN TO THE WHEEL WELLS.  ATC CONFIRMED THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN FOR LANDING.

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.
