## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT WAS MANUEVERING TO LAND AT NASHVILLE WHEN THE AUTOPILOT DISCONNECTED, SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY A COMPLETE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR MANUALLY BUT COULD NOT GET A SAFE GEAR INDICATION BECAUSE OF LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE GEAR WARNING LIGHTS. UPON LANDING, THE GEAR WAS NOT FULLY EXTENDED AND COLLAPSED UNDER THE A/C. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE A/C UNDERSIDE. INSPECTION OF THE A/C INDICATED A FULLY DISCHARGED BATTERY AND DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR CRANK MECHANISM. THE CAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL POWER LOSS COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.
