## Narrative

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

(-23) UPON TAKEOFF FROM KGKY, PILOT DISCOVERED THAT THE GEAR WOULD NOT RETRACT COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT EXTEND EVEN WITH EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION PROCEDURE.  GEAR WAS IN HALF-WAY POSITION AND JAMMED.  PILOT CONDUCTED SAFE LANDING WITH THE GEAR IN THE JAMMED POSITION.  ANNUAL ON THE AIRCRAFT WAS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETED DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF MAY 2009.  A 1965 AD ON THIS AIRCRAFT REQUIRED A STIFFENER APPLIED TO LEFT MAIN GEAR.  THIS STIFFENER BROKE AND MAY HAVE JAMMED THE GEAR.

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.
