## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RWY 15, UPON LANDING THE AIRCRAFT GEAR COLLAPSED. PILOT DID NOT KNOW WHICH GEAR COLLAPSED FIRST. THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS ON THE RUNWAY AND NO SCRAPES ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR DOORS. THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS IN THE UP POSITION. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE PUT THE HANDLE IN THE UP POSITION AFTER THE GEAR COLLAPSED TO KEEP THE GEAR FROM TRYING TO DEPLOY AFTER THEY HAD COLLAPSED. NOTE: PASSENGER ON BOARD STATED THAT HE WAS NOT TAKING LESSONS. JUST A PLEASURE RIDE.

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.
