## Narrative

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

MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSE ON LANDING.  VISUALLY INSPECTED LANDING GEAR SYSTEM POST INCIDENT AFTER AIRCRAFT RECOVERY.  NO IMMEDIATE INDICATIONS OF SYSTEM OR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION.  VERY MINOR DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT.  PILOT STATED HE LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN. NOSE LANDING GEAR MOVED TO THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION.

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.
