## Narrative

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

THE PILOT OF AN AMPHIBIOUS FLOATPLANE LANDED ON RUNWAY 15 AT KCWF WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED.  THE PILOT NOTIFIED ATC WHO INITIATED AN ALERT III RESPONSE.  NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED WITH MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  GROUND CREW RAISED THE AIRCRAFT, EXTENDED THE GEAR AND PILOT TAXIED TO THE RAMP AREA WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
