## Narrative

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

(-23)AFTER COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A NO FLAP LANDING AT 120 KNTS. SINCE THE FLAPS ARE ELECTRICAL AND WOULD NOT EXTEND.  THE PILOT RETARDED THE THROTTLE JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT MADE A HARD LANDING ON THE NOSE GEAR CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, ENGINE COWL AND NOSE LANDING GEAR.  AN FAA INSPECTION OF THE EXP-BUS DC LOAD CENTER REVEALED NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF ELECTICAL DAMAGE FROM ARCHING OR BURNING.  THE DC-BUS MASTER SWITCH WAS RE-SET SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ELECTRIAL POWER TO THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
