## Narrative

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

(-23)THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED AHM AT 1501Z AND INITIATED A CLIMBING RIGHT TURN. ABOUT MIDWAY INTO THE TURN, THE AIRCRAFT LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER.  THE AIRCRAFT TURNED TOWARD THE TOWER AND ROCKED THE WINGS TO INDICATE THEY WERE WITHOUT RADIO COMMUNCIATION. THE TOWER ACKNOWLEDGE AND THE PILOT REPEATEDLY TRIED TO EXTEND THE GEAR BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.  ON LANDING THE A/C EXPERIENCED DAMAGE TO THE FLAPS, NOSE GEAR DOORS, PROP DAMAGE, AND DAMAGE TO THE SKIDS BENEATH THE CABIN.  WITNESSES ON THE GROUND STATED THE MAIN GEAR WERE ABOUT 1/4 EXTENDED.  AS OF THIS DATE, CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED.

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.
