## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED THAT AS THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE GRASS LANDING STRIP, THE GEAR COLLAPSED.  INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT THE GEAR WAS SELECTED TOO LATE IN THE LANDING PROCESS TO ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO FULLY EXTEND AND LOCK.  WHEN THE WEIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED ON THE GEAR, IT COLLAPSED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT FULLY EXTENDED AND LOCKED IN THE DOWN POSIION.

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