## Narrative

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

WHILE PERFORMING PRACTICE LANDINGS AT LEW, DURING THE THIRD LANDING THE LEFT WING BEGAN TO LIFT AND THE AIRCRAFT SLOWLY LEANED TO THE RIGHT.  THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CENTERLINE ON THE RUNWAY.  WITH THE ENGINE AT IDLE AND THE AIRCRAFT COMING TO A STOP, THE RIGHT WING DRAGGED SLIGHTLY ON THE RUNWAY AND THE PROPELLER CLIPPED THE PAVEMENT.  UPON EXITING THE AIRCRAFT THE PILOT NOTED THE RIGHT GEAR HAD COLLAPSED.  THE LOWER LANDING GEAR TIE BOLT WAS MISSING.

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.
