## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED LANDING GEAR DOWN WAS SELECTED FIVE MILES OUT ON FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 10, PVG, HAMPTON ROADS EXECUTIVE AIRPORT, PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA.  A DOWN AND LOCKED LANDING GEAR INDICATION ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS OBSERVED AND THE PILOT HAD A VISUAL CONFIRMATION THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN.  PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING THE LANDING ROLLOUT ALL LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO A STOP ON RUNWAY WITH NO INJURY TO OCCUPANT.  A SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT BY THE FAA FOUND THE DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR DOORS CONSISTENT WITH PILOT MISMANAGMENT OF THE LANDING GEAR.  ADDITIONALLY, THE DESIGN OF THE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR SYSTEM REDUCES PROBABILITY THAT THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING ROLLOUT.

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.
