## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS MAKING NORMAL APPROACH FOR LANDING AT RED OAK, IOWA. HE SELECTED HIS LANDING GEAR DOWN AND FAILED TO VERIFY BEFORE TOUCH DOWN. PILOT REPORTED THE MAIN LANDING GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS POPPED AND THE GEAR WAS NOT FULLY EXTENDED AT TOUCH DOWN, CAUSING THE GEAR TO NOT HOLD THE AIRCRAFT AFTER LANDING.
