## Narrative

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

MAY 15, 2019 AT 1533 CDT, AIRCRAFT BEARING REGISTRATION NUMBER N776KC, WHILE LANDING, MADE CONTACT WITH RUNWAY SURFACE WITH LANDING GEAR PARTIALLY EXTENDED AT KSAT IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. VISUAL METEORLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. THE AIRMAN WAS NOT INJURED. FAA ONSITE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE LEFT GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED. THE RIGHT GEAR AND NOSE GEAR WERE ONLY PARTIALLY EXTENDED AND ALL PROPELLER BLADES WERE DAMAGED. AIRMAN TOLD A WITNESS AT THE SCENE THAT HE MAY HAVE FORGOT TO PUT THE LANDING GEAR DOWN. AIRMAN TOLD THE FAA INSPECTOR ON SCENE THAT HE WAS NOT SURE IF HE HAD PUT THE GEAR DOWN. OTHER WITNESSES STATED THEY OBSERVED THE LANDING GEAR NOT BEING EXTENDED ON FINAL APPROACH AND PRIOR TO THE AIRCRAFT CONTACTING THE RUNWAY. ATC RECORDING WAS REVIEWED AND VOICE OF PILOT STATED "I MADE A GEAR UP LANDING".

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.
