## Narrative

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

(-23) LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT COME DOWN. AIRCRAFT BELLY LANDED WITH MINOR DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT. NO FIRE, NO NMAC. PILOT SHUT ENGINES OFF ON FINAL CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLERS.

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.
