## Narrative

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

(-23) AFTER ONE PREVIOUS MISSED APPROACH, AIRCRAFT WAS GIVEN CLEARANCE TO LAND ON RUNWAY 24 AT 2312Z (1812 LOCAL).  AIRCRAFT WAS OBSERVED BREAKING THROUGH CLOUDS BY LANDING LIGHT.  WEATHER CONDITIONS DID NOT ALLOW FOR VISUAL CONFORMATION OF LANDING GEAR POSITION.  SHOWER OF SPARKS OBSERVED ON RUNWAY FOLLOWED BY PILOT STATING "I FORGOT TO PUT MY GEAR DOWN".  METAR KARB 2253Z 18005KT 3SM-RA BR OVC003 08/07 A29.99.

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.
