## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ TOOK OFF FROM ENW IN N970PS, PA-31T AIRCRAFT WHEN HE NOTICED THE GEAR DID NOT RETRACT. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ELECTED TO FLY ON TO HON AND BURN OFF FUEL BEFORE MAKING AN EMERGENCY LANDING.

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.
