## Narrative

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

(-23) ON FEBRUARY 7, 2004, AT 1148 EDT, A CESSNA 337-O2A, REGISTERED TO DENNIS C. LABBE, LANDED WITH THE GEAR PARTIALLY EXTENDED AT PAGE FIELD, FT MYERS, FLORIDA, WHILE ON A PLEASURE FLIGHT. ON DEPARTURE FROM PAGE FIELD THE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT FULLY RETRACT. PILOT SELECTED GEAR DOWN AND TRIED TO EXTEND THE GEAR USING THE HAND PUMP. THE GEAR WOULD NOT FULLY EXTEND. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED A SMALL HOLE FROM ELECTRICAL ARCING ON A LANDING HYDRAULIC LINE. THE LINE IS LOCATED NEXT TO THE BATTERY WHICH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE AND NO INJURIES TO PILOT OR PASSENGER. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT PAGE FIELD (FMY) IN FT. MYERS, FLORIDA.

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.
