## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT EXPERIENCED COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MILES FROM DESTINATION. UPON REACHING DESTINATION THE ELECTRIC GEAR SYSTEM WAS INOP. PILOT MANUALLY CRANKED THE GEAR DOWN, MADE A PASS BY THE TOWER TO CONFIRM 3 GEAR DOWN, AND THEN LANDED. UPON LANDING, THE NOSE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN AND LOCKED AND IT COLLAPSED CAUSING THE MAIN GEAR TO ALSO COLLAPSE. NO INJURIES AND ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
