## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT ^PRIVACY D^ STATES: "WHILE LANDING AT OUR GENE FACILITY THE LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND. I TRIED ALL OF THE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND COULD NOT GET THE GEAR DOWN. I ELECTED TO GO BACK TO BRACKETT (POC) AND BELLY LANDED THE AIRCRAFT. WE HAD NAI MOVE THE AIRCRAFT OFF OF THE RUNWAY AND PUT IT INTO THE HANGAR." REPORTING INSPECTOR STATES: THE AIRCRAFT WAS JACKED TO MANUALLY EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR FOR REMOVAL FROM THE RUNWAY. WHEN TEH POWER WAS APPLIED TO THE SYSTEM THE LANDING GEAR OPERATED NORMALLY WITH NO AIR LOAD APPLIED TO THE LANDING GEAR. THE WHEELS WERE SELECTED DOWN APROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AFTER THE INCIDENT AND THIS MAY HAVE ALLOWED THE HYDRAULIC POWERPACK TO COOL SUFFICIENTLY TO AMBIENT TEMPERATURE ALLOWING PROPER OPERATION. THE REPORTING INSPECTOR HAS EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE POWERPACKS OF THIS TYPE ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNAL COMPONENTS FAILING TO OPERATE WHEN HEAT ESCALATES DURING OPERATION.

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.
