## Narrative

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

DURING PHASE 1 FLIGHT TESTING LANDED HARD ON RUNWAY 22 WITH SLIGHT LEFT CROSSWIND. PIC ELECTED TO GO AROUND AND WITNESSES SAW THAT RIGHT GEAR DID NOT FULLY EXTEND WHEN AIRCRAFT WAS ON FINAL AGAIN. PILOT WENT AROUND AGAIN AND ANOTHER PILOT IN THE PATTERN JOINED UP ON AIRCRAFT AND CONFIRMED GEAR WAS NOT FULLY DOWN AND LOCKED. AFTER USING RUDDER MOVEMENTS TO FULLY EXTEND GEAR THE OTHER PILOT REPORTED GEAR WAS DOWN AND APPEARD TO BE LOCKED. AIRCRAFT LANDED AND WAS ROLLING OUT WHEN RIGHT  AND THE PILOT STEERED THE AIRCRAFT THE GRASS PARALLEL TO THE RUNWAY WHEN SPEED BLED OFF TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE.

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.
