## Narrative

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

(-23) ON APPROACH TO MILLARD AIRPORT, OMAHA, NE, THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HAD AN UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION. THE PILOT DIVERTED TO EPPLEY AIRFIELD, OMAHA, NE. UPON TOUCHDOWN THE LANDING GEAR GREEN LIGHT CAME ON. MAINTENANCE FOUND THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR MICROSWITCH BRACKET CRACKED. A NEW PART WAS INSTALLED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.

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.
