## Narrative

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

DURING TOUCHDOWN OF THE AIRCRAFT, THE GEAR DID NOT LOCK IN THE DOWN POSITION CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  NO EVIDENCE OF EQUIPMENT FAILURE WAS DISCOVERED IN THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM.

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.
