## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 02/28/01, A REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT TO FLY WITH THE GEAR DOWN WAS INVESTIGATED AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SUBJECT AIRCRAFT WAS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED DURING THE LANDING PHASE. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED THAT THE AIRCRAFT'S LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED UPON LANDING CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH PROPELLERS, SOME LOWER FUSELAGE STRUCTURAL STRINGERS AND SHEET METAL SKINS. THERE WAS OTHER EVIDENCE OF FLAP DAMAGE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT WING AND NOSE GEAR DOORS HAD SEVERE SCRAPES AND DENTS AT THEIR AFT SECTIONS. THE PROPELLERS WERE REMOVED FOR OVERHAUL AND BOTH CRANKSHAFTS WERE INSPECTED FOR FURTHER DAMAGE. IT IS THE OPINION OF THE REPORTING ASI, BASED ON THE VISUAL EVIDENCE OF THE AIRCRAFT, IT APPEARS THE GEAR FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON RETRACTED UPON LANDING. THIS PROBLEM IS CERTAINLY ELECTRICALLY RELATED AND FURTHER TROUBLESHOOTING IS REQUIRED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS ISSUED A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT TO ACCOMPLISH FURTHER MAINTENANCE REPAIRS. (SEE ATTACHED SHEET)

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.
