## Narrative

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

THE PILOT OF N6002K REPORTED THAT HE WAS HAVING DIFICULTIES SLOWING THE AIRCRAFT ON FINAL WHICH CAUSED HIM TO GET DISTRACTED AND SELECT THE GEAR DOWN LATE. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE RUNWAY BEFORE THE GEAR WAS LOCKED. THE LEFT WING HIT THE RUNWAY CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED IN THE GRASS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF RUNWAY 20 AT THE SACRAMENTO EXECUTIVE AIRPORT. AN NTSB INVESTIGATOR WAS IN THE AREA AND WAS PRESENT AT THE TIME THE AIRCRAFT WAS RECOVERED. HE ASSESSED THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE, TO INCLUDE THE LANDING GEAR. THE RESULT OF HIS INVESTIGATION FOUND ONLY MINOR DAMAGE. COUNSELLING WAS DONE WITH THE PILOT ON JUNE 28, 2022 AT APPROXIMATELY 1530 ON THE IMPORTANCE OF DOING A GO-AROUND WHEN DISTRACTIONS OCCUR.

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.
