## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING THE APPROACH THE LANDING GEAR SELECTOR WAS PLACED IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE PILOT HEARD THE GEAR EXTENDING AND SAW, WHAT HE THOUGHT, WERE THREE GREEN GEAR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. UPON TOUCH-DOWN ON RWY. 34, THE PILOT REALIZED TOO LATE, THAT ONLY THE NOSE GEAR HAD FULLY EXTENDED AND LOCKED DOWN. THE GEAR AND LIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN THE SYSTEM WAS INSPECTED WITH THE A/C ON JACKS. DAMAGE TO THE A/C AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE INCIDENT,WAS MINOR. HOWEVER, THE COST OF REPAIRS EXCEEDED THE VALUE OF THE A/C, THEREFORE THE A/C WAS CLASSIFIED AS "TOTALED". THE CAUSE CAN ONLY BE EXPRESSED AS AN INTERMITTENT RESTRICTION SOMEWHERE IN THE MAIN GEAR HYDRAULIC RETURN LINES. FURTHER INVESTIGATION WAS DETERMINED IMPRACTICAL AND THIS INCIDENT WAS CLOSED.

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.
