## Narrative

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

ON 8/21/2013 N8219M A CE-210K PILOTED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS CLEARED TO LAND RUNWAY 17 AT KALAMAZOO, MI (AZO). THE WEATHER AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS WITH REPORTED WIND 290 AT 9 KTS, 10SM VISIBILITY, SCATTERED CLOUDS AT 5000FT, AND A TEMPERATURE OF 30 DEGREES CELSIUS.  THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER CONTROLLER NOTED THAT N8219M HAD NOT PUT ITS LANDING GEAR DOWN AND INSTRUCTED THE PILOT TO GO-AROUND.  THE PILOT REPLIED, ?THANK YOU?.  N8219M WAS THEN INSTRUCTED TO ENTER LEFT TRAFFIC FOR RUNWAY 23.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED TO LAND RUNWAY 23 AND ATC REQUESTED THE PILOT MAKE A SHORT APPROACH.  THE PILOT ACCEPTED.

THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON RUNWAY 23, BECAME AIRBORNE AGAIN, AND SUBSEQUENTLY IMPACTED A RUNWAY LIGHT BETWEEN TAXIWAY A AND E.

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.
