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

THIS AIRCRAFT WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 15 AT THE KOZS (CAMDENTON, MO) AIRPORT WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT FULLY IN THE DOWN LAND LOCKED POSITION. THE AIRCRAFT CONTACTED THE RUNWAY SURFACE AND CONTINUED TO LAND MAKING CONTACT WITH BOTH PROPELLERS AND SLIDING ON THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT AND FLAPS. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO SLIDE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RECOVERED, UPON RECOVERY THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED AND THE BATTERY MASTER SWITCH WAS TURNED ON, AT THAT TIME THE LANDING GEAR OPERATED AND THE GEAR MOVED TO THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. IN SPEAKING WITH THE PILOT HE STATED THAT THE GEAR WAS SELECTED ?DOWN?

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.
