## Narrative

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

(-23) AFTER LANDING AT THE LONGVIEW AIRPORT AND AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING, THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. EXAMINATION FOUND THAT THE NEW TIRE HAD INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE AT TAKE OFF SPEED AND THE RETRACTION HAD BENT ONE OF THE RETRACT TUBES. ADDITIONAL MINOR DAMAGE ALSO OCCURRED, A BENT PITOT TUBE, AND SCUFFING OF THE LEFT AILERON AND FLAP.

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.
