## Narrative

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

(-23) ON NOV 29, 2003, WHILE ON A FLIGHT FROM SYLACAUGA, AL (KSCD) TO PENSACOLA, FL (KPNS), N627T AT APPROXIMATELY 40NM FROM PENSACOLA BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL LOSS OF AUTOPILOT, RADIOS AND GPS. PENSACOLA APPROACH WAS INFORMED OF THE SITUATION, AND N627T, REQUESTED THROUGH APPROACH CONTROL A GREEN LANDING LIGHT FROM THE TOWER FOR LANDING. ON DOWNWIND LEG, N627T RECEIVED A GREEN LIGHT FROM TOWER. THE PILOT STATED THAT WHEN THE GEAR WAS SELECTED DOWN THE GEAR WARNING HORN WENT OUT, HEARD AND FELT THE GEAR GO DOWN, AND HAD A NOSE GEAR INDICATION ON THE FLOOR THAT SHOWED THE NOSE GEAR DOWN. DURING ROLLOUT AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE LEFT GEAR COLLAPSED, THEN THE RIGHT GEAR FOLLOWED BY THE NOSE GEAR. INVESTIGATION REVEALED A BROKEN FIELD WIRE TO THE ALTERNATOR CAUSING ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

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.
