## Narrative

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

(-16) ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH SUBSEQUENT GEAR FAILURE. LANDED WITH PARTIAL GEAR EXTENDED. SKIDDED APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS AND WENT OFF RUNWAY 50 FEET. NO INJURIES TO PILOT OR TWO PASSENGERS ON BOARD. NTSB WANTED TO KEEP THIS OPEN AS AN ACCIDENT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE GEAR PROBLEM WAS--APPARENTLY, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER CESSNA 210 ACCIDENTS IN WHICH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE ENCOUNTERED.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
