## Narrative

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

(-23)  THE PILOT STATED THE FOLLOWING, WHILE PERFORMING A TEST FLIGHT, SPECIFICALLY SLOW FLIGHT MANEUVERS, THE GEAR WAS EXTENDED TO VERIFY THE FLIGHT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE AIRCRAFT.  AFTER THE GEAR WAS EXTENDED, ONLY THE LEFT MAIN GEAR INDICATION WAS GREEN.  I THEN DIVERTED TO BOLTON FIELD (TZR).  AFTER REQUESTING A TOWER FLY-BY, IT APPEARED ALL THE GEAR WERE DOWN.  AT THAT TIME THE TOWER NOTED "SOMETHING" FELL FROM THE PLANE.  ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH AND NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER.  AT 1500 FEET THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING AND SMOKE WAS COMING INTO THE COCKPIT.  THE PILOT STATED HE TURNED THE FUEL OFF TO THE ENGINE AND PERFORMED A DEAD STICK LANDING.  UPON LANDING THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTED AND THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  THERE WAS NO POST INCIDENT FIRE, OR INJURIES TO THE PILOT.

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.
