The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Upon return to the airport, the landing gear would not extend. After several unsuccessful attempts, the pilot made the decision to fly to new Century Aircenter (ixd), new Century, Kansas. One final attempt to lower the landing gear manually resulted with the handcrank breaking-off and the gear "jammed."

The pilot contacted maintenance personnel at ixd, and after the gear was retracted, a decision was made to perform a gear-up landing at ixd. A successful emergency landing was accomplished on runway 22, with minor damage to the aircraft and no injuries to the pilot. This incident privacy data omitted is considered closed.
