## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT ENRERED THE PATTERN AT KPOU AND THE LANDING GEAR WAS SELECTED DOWN. NO DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION WAS NOTED. POU TOWER OBSERVED THAT THE GEAR DID NOT APPEAR DOWN. THE PILOT LEFT THE PATTERN AND PERFORMED THE EMERGENCY EXTENTION PROCEDURE. THE GEAR EXTENDED AND A DOWN AND LOCKED INDICATION WAS OBSERVED SO THE AIRCRAFT RE-ENTERED THE PATTERN. POU TOWER OBSERVED THAT THE LANDING NOW APPEARED DOWN. A NORMAL LANDING WAS PERFORMED AND FOR UNKNOWN REASONS,THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED UPON ROLLOUT.

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.
