## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WAS ON A PLANNED VFR FLIGHT FROM STS TO SCK AND WAS PROCEEDING AS NORMAL WHEN, AT APPROX. 1135 HOURS, HE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT SCK TOWER, WAS UNABLE TO TRANSMIT BUT COULD HEAR. AFTER TRYING ANOTHER MIC WITH NO SUCCESS HE DEPARTED THE PATTERN AND FLEW TO A LESS CONGESTED AREA TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. SHORTLY AFTER, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEGAN FAILING TO DISPLAY. DECIDING TO LAND AT O20, HE ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR ELECTRICALLY BUT TO NO AVAIL. HE THEN PERFORMED MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION PROCEDURES, TOUCHED DOWN, ROLLED OUT, AND AS HE WAS BRAKING, THE MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION HANDLE POPPED BACK AND THE GEAR COLLAPSED.

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.
