## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING LANDING AT OGD THE PILOT EXTENDED HIS LANDING GEAR EARLY TO EXPEDITE HIS DESCENT INTO THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. VERY SHORTLY AFTER EXTENDING THE GEAR HE RETRACTED THE GEAR AND THEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY HE PUT THE GEAR HANDLE INTO THE DOWN POSITION FOR LANDING. HE DID NOT CROSS-CHECK THE GEAR POSITION INDICATOR LIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE GEAR MARGINALLY IN THE DOWN POSITION. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS RAISED IT WAS NOTED THAT THE GEAR MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS POPPED. WHEN THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS PUSHED IN THE GEAR FULLY EXTENDED. DAMAGE WAS MINOR AND THERE WAS NO FURTHER INCIDENT. PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS FOCUSED ON THE ENGINE INSTRUMENTS IN THAT THE ENGINE JUST CAME OUT OF OVERHAUL AND HE FAILED TO CROSS-CHECK THE INDICATOR LIGHT. IT APPEARS THAT THE GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER MAY HAVE POPPED DUE TO THE SHORT INTERVAL BETWEEN THE INITIAL EXTENDING, RAISING AND EXTENDING AGAIN FOR LANDING. ONCE THE AIRCRAFT IS PUT INTO A REPAIR FACILITY THE CAUSE OF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER POPPING MAY BE DETERMINED. THERE WAS NO ATC 8020-17 ASSOCIATED WITH THIS INCIDENT.

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.
