## Narrative

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

(-23) ON APRIL 10, 1006 APPROXIMATELY 1135 HOURS THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA ^ OPERATED N3200R VFR FROM ZMH (MARSH HARBOR, ABACO ISLAND) TO PBI (WEST PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT). UPON LANDING ON RUNWAY 9R THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. AIRCRAFT SLID OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND IMPACTED A LIGHT. NO INJURIES, AIRCRAFT DID NOT INCUR SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. INVESTIGATION OF LANDING GEAR RETRACTION SYSTEM FOUND RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR SWITCH, WARNING HORN TO BE OUT OF RIG, AND DOWN SPRINGS THAT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.

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.
