## Narrative

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

(-23)PILOT WAS PRACTICING SINGLE ENGINE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES WITH A SAFETY PILOT. FEATHER THE LEFT ENGINE AND WAS UNABLE TO BRING THE ENGINE OUT OF FEATHER.  PILOT MADE AN EMERGENCY RETURN TO THE AIRFIELD AND WAS NOT ABLE TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR.  PILOT THEN MADE AN EMERGENCY GO-AROUND AND SELECTEC A CROSS RUNWAY TO MAKE THE SUBSEQUENT APPROACH TO.  PILOT WAS ABLE TO EXTEND THE MAIN LANDING GEAR PRIOR TO LANDING BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY GET THE NOSE GEAR DOWN PRIOR TO LANDING.  PILOT MANEUVERED THE AIRCRAFT TO LAND IN THE SOFT DIRT OFF THE SIDE OF RUNWAY. MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT SKIN OCCURRED AND BOTH PROPS WERE DAMAGED.  NO INJURIES.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT PILOT FOLLOWED THE CORRECT IN-FEATHER PROCEDURES BUT ELECTED NOT TO USE THE EMERGENCY AIR BOTTLE TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR.  FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
