## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MAY 24, 2006 AT APPROX 1806 CST, MOONEY N91365 RIGHT MAIN GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND. AFTER FLYING FOR ABOUT ONE HOUR TO BURN FUEL OFF, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED RNWY 01 AT KILLEEN, TX SKYLARK FIELD (KILE). THE RIGHT WING AND PROP DID NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH THE GROUND; HOWEVER, THE ENTRY STEP LOCATED AFT OF THE RIGHT WING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION BY AN FAA INSPECTOR NOTED A DAMAGED LINKAGE FROM THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR. MOONEY AIRCRAFT, INC. WAS CONTACTED BY THE SCHOOL CONCERNING THE AIRCRAFT PART IN QUESTION.

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.
