## Narrative

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

THIS TIME LIGHTS INDICATED THE NOSE AND THE LEFT GEAR WERE EXTENDED. PILOT ATTEMPTED LANDING GEAR EMERGENCY PROCEDURES TO EXTEND THE GEAR. THE RIGHT GEAR STILL WOULD NOT EXTEND. A FLY BY THE TOWER CONFIRMED THE RIGHT GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED. PILOT DIVERTED TO HGR FOR A SUITABLE RUNWAY. PILOT LANDED ON RUNWAY 27 WITH ONLY THE NOSE LANDING GEAR AND THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR EXTENDED. AIRCRAFT REMAINED ON THE RUNWAY AT ALL TIMES.

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.
