## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT FLEW A LOCAL FLIGHT FROM AND TO SARASOTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT HAD AN UNSAFE NOSE LANDING GEAR WARNING LIGHT UPON APPROACH. THE PILOT WHILE FOLLOWING THE CHECKLIST ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR SEVERAL TIMES. INCLUDING MANUAL EXTENSION. AFTER AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT THE PILOT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT SARASOTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

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.
