## Narrative

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

(-23)  DURING APPROACH FOR LANDING AT TOA, THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED AND THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LOWER FUSELAGE AND PROPELLER.  THE PILOT INDICATED THAT HE FAILED TO EXTEND THE GEAR.

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.
