## Narrative

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

THE PILOT RETRACTED LANDING GEAR AS WHEELS LEFT THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT THEN SETTLED BACK DOWN TO THE RUNWAY AND SLID TO A STOP OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF RUNWAY 25 APPROX 3/4 DOWN THE 4000 FOOT RUNWAY.

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.
