## Narrative

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

(-23) LEFT LOWER MAIN GEAR DOOR DEPARTED AIRCRAFT. LANDING GEAR WAS IN UP POSITION AND THE LOSS OF THE LANDING GEAR DOOR RESULTED IN UNSECURED LEFT BRAKE HOSE. LEFT MAIN GEAR BRAKE HOSE JAMMED BETWEEN LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR SCISSOR ASSEMBLY AND GEAR WELL OPENING. THIS CAUSED THE LEFT MAIN GEAR NOT TO EXTEND. THE PILOT, WHO IS A REPAIRMAN FOR THE AIRCRAFT, ADJUSTED THE LEFT MAIN GEAR DOORS PRIOR TO THIS FLIGHT. HE THOUGHT THAT HE MAY HAVE FAILED TO TIGHTEN ALL OF THE HARDWARE. END OF STATEMENT.

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.
