## Narrative

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

(-23) AT APPROX 3 PM CDT I RECEIVED AN IFR WEATHER BRIEFING FOR A FLIGHT FROM URBANA IL (C16) TO WASHINGTON ISLAND, WI (2P2). DEPARTED AT APPROX 4:30 PM. NORTHEAST OF ROCKFORD, IL, WE ENCOUNTERED BRIEF, BUT SEVERE, TURBULENCE. IFR WAS CANCELLED 10 MILES SOUTH OF 2P2. ON ENTERING THE PATTERN, GEAR DOWN SWITCH CAUSED THE GEAR ACTUATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER TO BLOW AND GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT REMAINED ON. GEAR WOULD NEITHER EXTEND OR RETRACT. EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION CHECKLIST WAS FOLLOWED, GRANK TURNED, BUT GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I PROCEEDED TO STURGEON BAY (SUE) VFR, WHERE A LOW PASS ALLOWED GROUND PERSONNEL TO VERIFY GEAR PARTIALLY EXTENDED. THEN PROCEEDED TO GREEN BAY FOR BELLY LANDING. PROCEEDED TO EXECUTE BELLY LANDING ON RW 18, AND EXITED THE AIRCRAFT WITH PASSENGERS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
