## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON MARCH 3, 1998, AT 1325 CDST, CESSNA MODEL 210K, N9483M, OWNED AND OPERATED BY HERSCHELL H. HARGUS MADE AN EMERGENCY GEAR UP LANDING AT IT'S POINT OF DEPARTURE AFTER A LOCAL PLEASURE FLIGHT. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME. MINOR DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR & PROPELLER, THE COMMERCIAL PILOT AND THREE PASSENGERS WERE UNINJURED. THE BOTH MAIN LANDING GEAR DOORS SUSTAINED STRUCTURE DAMAGE AS DID THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FUSELAGE. THE PROPELLER BLADES WERE BENT WITH THE TIPS ROLLED FORWARD. PRELIMINARY TEST OF THE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION SYSTEM INDICATES THERE IS INSUFFICIENT HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO CAUSE THE LANDING GEAR TO EXTEND AND LOCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. FURTHER TEST WILL BE CONDUCTED TO ISOLATE THE INOPERATIVE SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND AN "M OR D" REPORT WILL FOLLOW.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
