## Narrative

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

A HARD LANDING BROKE THE SHOCK ABSORBER MOUNT POINTS IN THE LANDING GEAR, CAUSING A PARTIAL MAIN-GEAR COLLAPSE ON BOTH SIDES. THE GEAR DOORS KEPT THE AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE, WINGS, FLAPS, AND PROPELLER FROM CONTACTING THE RUNWAY.  THE RUDDER MADE CONTACT AND WAS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. THE NOSE WHEEL FORK WAS BENT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
