## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT DEPARTED GRD WHEN HE RETRACTED THE GEAR HE HEARD A NOISE BUT DID NOT THINK ALOT ABOUT IT. WHEN THE PILOT EXTENDED THE GEAR FOR LANDING HE LOST AILERON CONTROL AND THE NOSE GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND. THE PILOT THEN RETRACTED THE GEAR AND REGAINED AILERON CONTROL. AFTER RECYCLING THE LANDING GEAR SEVERAL TIMES THE PILOT HEARD A LOUD POP, THEN WITH THE GEAR EXTENDED HE HAD CONTROL OF THE AILERONS BUT NO NOSE GEAR LIGHT. THE PILOT THEN LANDED THE AIRCRAFT WITH MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
