## Narrative

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

ON SATURDAY MARCH 30, 2013 AT APPROXIMATELY 1815 LOCAL MDT, A BEECHCRAFT BONANZA, N5532D, HAD A GEAR COLLAPSE INCIDENT WHILE TAXIING.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME WITH NO PLANNED INTENTION FOR FLIGHT.  THERE WAS ONE OCCUPANT ABOARD.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE AND THE OWNER/PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.

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.
