## Narrative

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

(-23)PILOT-IN-COMMAND ^PRIVACY^ STATED THAT THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT CRAIG AIRPORT (CRG) AT 0705 AM DIRECT TO ORLANDO EXECUTIVE (ORL) HIS DESTIANTION. IT WAS A NORMAL FLIGHT THE ENTIRE TIME.  WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO ENTER THE LEFT BASE FOR RWY 07.  WHEN I "DROPPED" THE GEAR I ONLY SHOWED (GREEN LIGHT) NOSE AND RIGHT MAIN AS DOWN.  I TRIED RECYCLING WITH SAME RESULTS.  I CONTACTED THE TOWER AND REPORTED THE SITUATION AND ASKED FOR A LOW PASS TO INSPECT THE GEAR CONDITION.  THE TOWER INFORMED ME THAT THE LEFT MAIN AS BEING FULLY IN THE UP POSITION.  I THEN PROCEEDED 5 TO 7 MILES NORTHEAST AND WENT THROUGH ALL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES WITHOUT POSITIVE EFFECT.  I CONTINUED TO BURN OFF EXCESSIVE FUEL, REVIEWED THE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES FOR A GEAR UP LANDING.  AT APPROXIMATELY 1000AM I LANDED THE AIRCRAFT ON RWY 13 WITH GEAR UP.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT AND THERE WAS NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO THE AIRPORT PROPERTY.  SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION FOUND A MALFUNCTION IN THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR UPLOCK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY.

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.
