## Narrative

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

(-23) MR. HANSEN STATED THAT HE DEPARTED POMPANO AIRPARK AT APPROX. 09:30 AM ENROUTE TO OCALA, FL. HE STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTER TAKE OFF, HE EXPERIENCED A DROP IN ENGINE RPM AND CONTACTED THE CONTROL TOWER AND TOLD THEM THAT HE WANTED TO RETURN AND LAND. HE SAID THAT HE DOESN'T REMEMBER IF HE HIT OR ENGAGED THE LANDING GEAR SWITCH OR NOT, BUT NEVERTHELESS, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR NOT FULLY EXTENDED AND SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT AND DESTROYED THE PROPELLER. MR. HANSEN'S DAUGHTER WAS A PASSENGER AND NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE INVESTIGATION OF THE AIRCRAFT INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT REVEALED THAT IT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BELLY SKIN OF THE AIRCRAFT AND COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE PROPELLER DUE TO LANDING WITH THE GEAR PARTIALLY EXTENDED. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED BY AIRPORT PERSONNEL AND THE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAKEN TO MR. HANSEN'S WAREHOUSE FOR REPAIR.

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.
