What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot selected landing gear down while on a visual approach to the t.f. Green airport, Providence, RI. The gear circuit breaker popped and the gear did not extend. The pilot failed to ensure that the gear was extended. The airplane landed gear up. A & p mechanic working on repairing the airplane stated that the electric gear motor worked in one direction only. The gear would retract but would not extend using the electric gear motor. The electric gear motor has been sent to a repair station for repair and return to service. It is yet to be determined whether the gear motor failed due to rigging problems or electric gear motor problems.
