## Narrative

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

(-5)THE AIRCRAFT BEING OPERATING UNDER CFR 14 PART 91, IN VISUAL FLIGHT RULES, EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE.  THE PILOT MANUALLY CRANKED THE GEAR DOWN USING APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 TURNS ON THE HANDLE.  THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ON ROLL OUT AFTER A NORMAL LANDING.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT OR PASSENGER AND WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR.

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.
