## Narrative

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

THE PILOT OF A METRO 227 DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WHEN THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND. THE CONTROL TOWER CONFIRMED THE RIGHT GEAR UP.  ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO EXTEND THE GEAR USING THE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE PILOT ELECTED TO LAND WITH ALL GEAR IN THE UP POSITION.

THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
