## Narrative

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

(-23) THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER TOUCH DOWN CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO EXIT THE RUNWAY ON THE LEFT SIDE, HITTING TWO RUNWAY LIGHTS. ONE LIGHT STRUCK THE OUTBOARD LEADING EDGE OF THE LEFT WING. THE OTHER LIGHT STRUCK THE LEFT WING ROOT. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON THE GRASS. THE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE SWITCH WAS LEAKING CAUSING THE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID FROM THE RESERVOIR.

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.
