## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT LOST ELECTRICAL POWER 30 MILES FROM COLUMBIA COUNTY AIRPORT (1B1). PILOT LOWERED LANDING GEAR BY USING EMERGENCY LANDING EXTENSION PROCEDURE. THE PILOT THOUGHT THE LANDING GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY POSITIVE INDICATION DUE TO THE FACT THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL POWER. AFTER LANDING THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE RUNWAY AND THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. 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.
