## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT HE MADE A NORMAL APPROACH TO THE RUNWAY AND SELECTED THE LANDING GEAR "DOWN". THE PILOT STATED THAT HE OBSERVED THE RED LIGHT (GEAR UNSAFE) ILLUMINATE. (THIS LIGHT NORMALLY ILLUMINATES WHEN THE GEAR IS IN TRANSIT). THE PILOT STATED THAT HE COULD NOT VERIFY THAT HE OBSERVED THREE GREEN LIGHTS INDICATING THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE DID NOT HEAR A LANDING GEAR WARNING HORN. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR NOT FULLY EXTENDED. EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT SHOWS EVIDENCE THAT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR WAS SLIGHTLY EXTENDED. THE LEFT MAIN GEAR AND NOSE GEAR SHOW EVIDENCE OF BEING FULLY RETRACTED WHEN THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FUSELAGE AND THE ANTENNAS, THE ENTRANCE STEPS, EXHAUST PORT, THE NOSE GEAR DOORS, AND THE RIGHT FLAP ATTACH POINTS. NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE WAS NOTED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RAISED ON JACKS AND THE GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN ELECTRICAL POWER WAS SUPPLIED.

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.
