## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT WHILE HE WAS BEING VECTORED FOR AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH, IN INSTRUMENT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (IMC), TO THE DAYTON, TN AIRPORT (2A0), THE AIRCRAFT'S WEATHER RADAR BECAME INOPERABLE, THE HORIZONTAL SITUATION INDICATOR (LEFT SIDE) BECAME INOPERABLE, AND BOTH GENERATORS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE PILOT ADVISED ATC THAT HE HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND INITIATED A CLIMB TO VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (VMC). WHEN HE WAS IN VMC, HE TRIED TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. HE HAD EXPERIENCED A DUAL GENERATOR FAILURE. ULTIMATELY HE WAS ABLE TO PUT ONE GENERATOR ON LINE, HE CONTACTED ATC AND RECEIVED RADAR VECTORS TO LAND AT THE NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT. THE PILOT HAS SINCE HAD MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND HAS SAID THAT AS SOON AS THE PROBLEM IS DETERMINED, HE WILL ENSURE THAT THE APPROPRIATE SDR IS COMPLETED.

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.
