## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 18, 2017, AT 2045 MST, A PIPER COMANCHE, N6918P, REGISTERED TO ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, LANDED WITH THE GEAR UP, WHILE ON A TRAINING FLIGHT.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.  THE PILOT AND PASSENGER WERE NOT INJURED.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM CASA GRANDE, AZ.

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.
