## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT INITIALLY WAS ON APPROACH TO RUNWAY 31L AT KBFI, THEN ATC DIRECTED THE PILOT TO LAND ON RUNWAY 31R.  AIRCRAFT BRIEFLY TOUCHED DOWN ON 31R WITH THE GEAR IN THE UP POSITION WHICH CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, AT FIRST THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO GO AROUND BUT WAS FORCED INSTEAD TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT FURTHER DOWN THE RUNWAY.  ACCORDING TO ATC TAPES THE CONTROLLER ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO NOTIFY THE PILOT THAT THE GEAR WERE RETRACTED AND TO GO AROUND.  HOWEVER IT IS UNCLEAR AS TO WHAT POINT IN THE LANDING SEQUENCE THE ATC MADE THE ATTEMPTS.

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.
