## Narrative

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

DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE. THE AIRPLANE WAS REMOVED FROM THE RUNWAY BEFORE ANY PICTURES OF THE AIRPLANE WERE TAKEN, OR THE NTSB WAS CONTACTED.

A FORKLIFT WAS USED TO LIFT THE AIRPLANE OFF THE GROUND. ONCE LIFTED BY THE FORKLIFT THE AIRPLANES LANDING GEAR WAS EXTENDED NORMALLY, AND THE AIRPLANE WAS PUSHED TO THE AIRPORT RAMP.

NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR WAS FOUND.  PILOT CLAIMS HE DID NOT  RETRACT THE GEAR WHILE ON THE RUNWAY. AN EXACT CAUSE OF THE GEAR COLLAPSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

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.
