## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 08/10/06, THE PILOT OF CESSNA T210N, N6602C, DEPARTED TELLURIDE, COLORADO ON A FLIGHT TO SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. AFTER TAKEOFF THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE LANDING GEAR TO RETRACT. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT BECAME EVIDENT TO THE PILOT THAT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR AND NOSE GEAR WERE DOWN, BUT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR WAS NOT COMPLETELY EXTENDED. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE GEAR BACK DOWN USING THE EMERGENCY EXTENSION SYSTEM. THE PILOT DECIDED TO CONTINUE HIS FLIGHT TO THE SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS AREA IN ORDER TO BURN OFF HIS FUEL AND GET AS CLOSE TO HIS HOME DESTINATION AS POSSIBLE. DUE TO THE DRAG OF THE EXTENDED LANDING GEAR, THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO FLY TO THE SAN ANGELO REGIONAL AIRPORT. UPON LANDING, AS THE AIRCRAFT CURVED OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, IT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND RIGHT ELEVATOR. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT, AND WAS NOT INJURED.
