## Narrative

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

(-23)N110QM WAS ENROUTE FROM BATON ROUGE LA TO BEAUMONT TX WITH 1 FLIGHT CREW MEMBER AND TWO PASSENGERS ON BOARD WHEN IT EXPERIENCED DUAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE PILOT DIVERTED THE FLIGHT TO PALESTINE TX AND WAS NOT ABLE TO COMMUNICATE BY RADIO.  AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE BY THE CREW TO MANUALLY EXTEND THE GEAR.  THE PILOT HAD MECHANICAL INDICATION THAT THE GEAR WAS FULLY EXTENDED AND MADE A NORMAL APPROACH.  THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LANDING AND BOTH PROPS STRUCK THE ASPHALT RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 50 TIMES EACH.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINIMAL DAMAGE LIMITED TO THE NOSE GEAR AND DOORS, RADOME, BOTH PROPELLERS AND ENGINES.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED.

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.
