## Narrative

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

(-23) ON THE ABOVE DATE I (EDISON COLEBROOKE) MADE AN EMERGENCY GEAR UP LANDING. AS I APPROACHED KPBI (WEST PALM INTL) FOR LANDING I NOTICED MY LANDING GEAR FAILED TO DEPLOY. I DISCONTINUED THE APPROACH AND WENT WEST ABOUT TWENTY FIVE MILES. AT THE SAME TIME I RECYCLED, THEN WENT ON TO THE EMERGENCY LAND GEAR EXTENSION PROCESS. 1. BRAKER PULLED 2. GEAR POSITION DOWN  3. HANDLE PULLED TURN CLOCKWISE  4. PUMP FOR THREE GREEN. THE PUMP HANDLE WAS STUCK AND WOULDN'T PUMP. AFTER DOING EVERYTHING I WAS TRAINED TO DO ABOUT FOUR TIMES, I PREPARED THE PASSENGERS AND THE AIRCRAFT FOR THE EMERGENCY LANDING AT KPBI ON RUNWAY 3. EVERYONE WALK SAFE. (ABOVE IS PILOT'S STATEMENT).

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.
