## Narrative

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

ACCORDING TO PILOT'S STATEMENT: CREW WAS ASSIGNED A REPOSITIONING FLIGHT FROM CYYZ TO KBUF. PREFLIGHT, TAXI, TAKEOFF, ENROUTE, AND LANDING WERE NORMAL. WHILE TAXIING TO PARKING AT KBUF, LINE MAINTENANCE AND CREW NOTICED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM NEAR THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. AFTER THE FUEL LEAK WAS CONTAINED, PIC NOTICED THAT THE RH LANDING GEAR DOOR WAS MISSING. THE MISSING LANDING GEAR DOOR WAS DISCOVERED BY GROUND PERSONNEL ON 12/05/2024 AT CYYZ ON AIRPORT PROPERTY. NO POST INCIDENT FIRE OR DAMAGE TO AIRPORT PROPERTY.

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.
