## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 32 AFTER REPORTING A PROBLEM WITH THE LANDING GEAR. ARFF RESPONDED AND THE AIRCAFT TAXIED TO THE RAMP WITHOUT INCIDENT. ATLANTIC AVIATION MAINTENANCE WORK ORDER #5615, DATED 9-15-07, STATES THAT L/H DOWN LOCK INDICATION DID NOT ILLUMINATE UNTIL PLANE WAS ON THE GROUND. THE CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS CLEANING OILY DIRT FROM THE LEFT DOWN LOCK SWITCH. NO FURTHER DAMAGE WAS NOTED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED FOR 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.
