What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On 11/19/2008, N120GC, CE-320D, landed gear up. Pilot reported that he experienced an electrical failure, tried to extend gear manually but had no indication that the gear was down. He did not do a "fly by" because of very erratic radio transmissions. The pilot stated that he removed both fuses from the alternator system. The fuses were not replaced for this flight. Our investigation revealed there was no indication that the landing gear was extended prior to landing. The gear doors had no damage and the tires had no scuff marks from side load. There were scratches to the underside. Both propellers had ground blades as a result of sliding on impact. The mechanics stated that this was the second flight after the annual inspection.
