(-23) AIRPLANE PILOT/OWNER WAS FLYING FROM HILO, HI TO HONOLULU, HI. HE HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT WAS ABLE TO CONTACT THE HNL AIRPORT WITH HIS STATUS. THE AIRPLANE LATER LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND HE COULD NOT CONTACT THE HNL AIRPORT. HE LANDED LANDING GEARS UP ON RUNWAY 4L WITHOUT PERMISSION FOR THE HNL AIRPORT.

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.
