What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(.4)As the pilot lowered the landing gear, there was a total electrical failure. He said he could not recall if he observed a gear down and locked indication. He attempted to reset the alternator/voltage regulator circuit breaker, but to no avail. During the landing, the main landing gear collapsed, but the nose landing gear remained down and locked. The airplane skidded off the runway, damaging the left horizontal stabilizer forward and aft spars. Postaccident examination by a repair facility (and later confirmed by the manufacturer) disclosed the generator control unit (gcu) had failed.
