## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE ON A VISUAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 19L AT WICHITA MID CONTINENT AIRPORT THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR. THE PILOT STATED THAT THERE WAS A "VERY LOUD BANG" FOLLOWED BY A "MODERATE SMOKE SMELL" IMMEDIATELY AFTER PLACING THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE IN THE DOWN POSITION. AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR MANUALLY THE PILOT STATED THAT THE GREEN DOWN AND LOCKED LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE NOSE AND LEFT MAIN BUT NOT THE RIGHT MAIN. THE PILOT ELECTED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT ON RUNWAY 14. AFTER LANDING, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED, THE AIRCRAFT TURNED TO THE RIGHT APPROXIMATELY 180 DEGREES AND CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 130 FEET OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY IN THE GRASS. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE AND THE PILOT WHO WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT INJURED.

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.
