What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During a training flight, the pilots conducted a practice ILS appraoch to kenai airport. They extended the gear, but noted the sound and feel of the gear was abnormal. They also noted the right hand fire bottle discharge light illuminated. They retracted the gear and returned to stevens international airport. They extended the gear for landing, but the right main gear light failed to illuminate. During a fly by, the tower verified the right main was not down. The pilots made several unsuccessful attempts to get the right main down. They then elected to land gear up at panc, burned off fuel, and landed successfully. An inspection of the aircraft afterwards revealed structural damage in the right main gear well. (Above narrative from 8020-23)
