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

(-23) WHILE BEING VECTORED ONTO AND ILS APPROACH, THE PILOT RAN THE BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST AND DID NOT EXTEND HIS GEAR WHEN THE CHECKLIST CALLED FOR IT.  THE APPROACH WAS FLOWN WITH A 40 TO 50 KNOT TAILWIND WITH GROUND SPEEDS REPORTED BY THE PILOT IN EXCESS OF 160 KNOTS.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
