## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRMAN STATED THAT HE SELECTED "GEAR DOWN", IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHECKLIST. THE GREEN LIGHT APPEARED ILLUMINATED, BUT IN RETROSPECT, THE BRIGHT SUN SHINING ON IT GAVE THAT IMPRESSION. MINOR DAMAGE RESULTED FROM THE "GEAR-UP" LANDING. AIRMAN STATED THAT POSTFLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE GEAR WAS EXTENDED A FEW INCHES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
