## Narrative

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

AFTER A FLIGHT FROM CAPE GIRARDEAU (KCGI), MISSOURI, TO COLUMBIA (COU), MISSOURI, THE PILOT COULD NOT GET A LANDING GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION.  AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR AND OBTAINING A POSITIVE OBSERVATION FROM THE TOWER, THE PILOT ELECTED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 20.  UPON TOUCHDOWN, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER.
