## Narrative

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

SENECA N69BW WAS CONDUCTING NIGHT LANDINGS AT BOWLING GREEN KENTUCKY (BWG). UPON THE FOURTH LANDING THE LANDING GEAR INDICATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE AIRCRAFT REURNED TO HOME BASE OF RICHMOND KENTUCKY (I39) AND CONTACTED MAINTENANCE FROM THE AIR. THE AIRCRAFT PERFORMED A FLY BY THE RUNWAY AND MAINTENANCE ADIVSED THE GEAR APPEARED DOWN. UPON TOUCGDOWN AND ROLLOUT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED. AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE AND THE STUDENT PILOT AND INSTRUCTOR WERE 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.
