## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO BOTH PROPELLERS, BOTH NOSE GEAR DOORS AND RADOME. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT OR THE MECHANIC ONBOARD.

FAILURE OF THE CHAIN RENDERED EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION INEFFECTIVE.

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.
