## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT (MARTINDALE) WAS NOT ABLE TO FULLY EXTEND LEFT MAIN GEAR ON FINAL APPROACH TO CAPE GIRARDEAU MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (CGI). PILOT (MARTINDALE) CONTACTED THE TOWER AND INFORMED THEM OF HIS SITUATION.  THE TOWER (CGI) DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  PILOT (MARTINDALE) LEVELED THE PROPELLER AND LANDED ON THE NOSE AND RIGHT MLG SKIDDING AFTER ROLLOUT ON THE LEFT MLG DAMAGING THE LEFT BRAKE CALIPER, LEFT WINGTIP, LEFT AILERON, AND LEFT FLAP.  AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS OPERATED UNDER A SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT DUE TO THE AIRCRAFT BEING OUT OF ANNUAL INSPECTION.  PILOT (MARTINDALE) DID NOT ENSURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED AND DOCUMENTED PER THE OPERATING LIMITATIONS.  IT APPEARS THAT A BROKEN LEFT GEAR BAIL DOOR PREVENTED THE LEFT MAIN GEAR FROM FULLY EXTENDING DURING LANDING AT CGI.  THE PILOT SECURED THE LANDING GEAR & FLEW TO MI.
