## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: MR. BENNETT TOOK OFF AT APPROXIMATELY 1625 LOCAL TIME FROM ALBUQUERQUE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR A LOCAL PLEASURE FLIGHT. MR. BENNETT WAS GOING TO PRACTICE TOUCH AND GO'S AT DOUBLE EAGLE. WHEN MR. BENNETT TRIED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR, THE MAIN GEAR WOULD DEPLOY, BUT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WOULD POP BECAUSE THE NOSE GEAR WOULD NOT DEPLOY. MR. BENNETT CONTACTED ABQ APPROACH AND WAS ASKED TO POSITION HIMSELF SOUTH OF THE VOR WHERE HE REMAINED FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES TRYING TO GET THE NOSE GEAR DOWN. WHEN HE COULD NOT GET THE NOSE GEAR DOWN, MR. BENNETT MADE A LANDING ON 03. MR. BENNETT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF ON FINAL, BUT THE PROPELLER WAS STILL WINDMILLING ON TOUCH DOWN. THE PROPELLER SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE AND THE NOSE AREA AT THE FORWARD DOORS WERE DAMAGED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAKEN TO ROBERTSON AIRCRAFT AND PLACED ON JACKS. THE FRONT DOORS WERE DESTROYED AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE SYSTEM, BUT THE GEAR WAS CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES AND WORKED PERFECTLY EACH TIME.

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.
