## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THAT THE GEAR WAS SELECTED DOWN. HE DID NOT RECALL VERIFYING THE GEAR WAS DOWN WITH THE WINGTIP MIRRORS BUT THERE WAS NO WARNING HORN AND THE GEAR DOWN INDICATOR LIGHT WAS ON. HE REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN THE PROPELLER HIT THE RUNWAY. THE GEAR MOTOR BREAKER WAS FOUND POPPED AND THE GEAR CYCLED DOWN AND LOCKED WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED AND THE BREAKER RESET.

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.
