## Narrative

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

AFTER COMPLETING A LOW PASS OF THE RUNWAY THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS INFORMED BY AN INDIVIDUAL AT THE FBO THAT IT APPEARED THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS DOWN BUT THE MAIN GEAR SEEMED TO BE TRAILING. AFTER CONTACTING PORT COLUMBUS APPROACH CONTROL AND BEING RADAR VECTORED TO THE PORT COLUMBUS AIRPORT (KCMH) A LOW APPROACH WAS CONDUCTED FOR THE TOWER TO OBSERVE THE GEAR. TOWER PERSONNEL ADVISED IT APPEARED THE NOSE GEAR WAS DOWN BUT THE MAIN GEAR SEEMED TO BE TRAILING. AFTER DEPARTING THE TRAFFIC PATTERN THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ COMPLETED SEVERAL MANEUVERS IN AN UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE MAIN GEAR TO A DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. FOLLOWING THE MANEUVERING THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS CLEARED FOR A LANDING AT CMH ON RUNWAY 10L. THE APPROACH AND LANDING WAS COMPLETED WITH THE NOSE GEAR DOWN AND THE MAIN LANDING GEAR NOT IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. AFTER LANDING THE AIRCRAFT ENDED UP COMING TO A STOP ON TAXIWAY J4 SHORT.
