## Narrative

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

(-23) YV731CP DEP TPA @ APPROXIMATELY 1545L. AFTER BREAKING GROUND THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL FELL OFF. THE PILOT CIRCLED TO BURN OFF FUEL AND DID A LOW PASS TO ASCERTAIN THAT THE WHEEL IN FACT WAS MISSING. IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS MISSING WHEN THE GEAR WAS LOWERED. THE PILOT AFTER REQUESTING A GEAR UP LANDING RECEIVED CLEARANCE AND LANDED R/W 9 WHEELS UP. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
