## Narrative

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

ON 11/27/2015 AIRCRAFTED LANDED GEAR UP AT CLW. LACK OF WITNESS MARKS ON THE RUNWAY OR AIRCRAFT INDICATING A GEAR COLLAPSE INDICATES THAT THE PILOT LANDED GEAR UP. UPON ARRIVAL AT AIRCRAFT WITNESSES TOOK PICTURES, ONE OF WHICH SHOWED THE GEAR HANDLE IN THE DOWN POSITION. ANOTHER PICTURE SHOWED THE "GEAR ACT" CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPED. WITNESSES ON THE GROUND INDICATED IN STATEMENTS THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT EXTENDED AS PILOT STATED.

SUBSEQUENT GEAR SWING SHOWED NO DEFECTS IN THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM.

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.
