## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 16 AT APPROXIMATELY 1500 RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF AN AMATEUR BUILT EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT A 1987 ACROSPORT II N5TT S/N 824JC WAS MAKING A LANDING AT THE KEENE NH AIRPORT (KEEN) AND THE LANDING GEAR FAILED ON LANDING.  THERE WERE 2 PEOPLE ON BOARD WITH NO INJURIES.  THE PILOT STATED TO ME THAT HE WAS DOING HIS 3 LANDINGS FOR CURRENCY.  HE HAD COMPLETED 2 LANDINGS AND WAS MAKING HIS THIRD, WHEN AFTER TOUCHING DOWN THE PLANE JUST SEEMED TO KEEP SETTLING LOWER THAN NORMAL.  THE LANDING GEAR APPEARED TO HAVE COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED ON THE BELLY.  IT APPEARS THAT THE GEAR CROSS BRACING FAILED, CAUSING THE GEAR TO COLLAPSE.  THIS CAUSED SUBSEQUENT DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BELLY AND WINGS.

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.
