## Narrative

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

THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A TAKEOFF IN AN IMPROPER CONFIGURATION RESULTING IN A RUNWAY EXCURSION AND COLLAPSE OF THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR. INVESTIGATION FOUND THE PITCH TRIM ADJUSTED TO AN EXTREME NOSE-UP POSITION.

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.
