## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 16, 2010, N789JH, OWNED AND OPERATED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE AFTER A GEAR UP LANDING AT THE BREMERTON AIRPORT, BREMERTON WASHINGTON.  THE PILOT STATED IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT, "MADE ROUTINE LEFT DOWNWIND FOR RUNWAY 19 AT BURLINGTON, ENGINE SEEMED A LITTLE ROUGH THROUGHOUT PATTERN NO MATTER HOW MIXTURE OR THROTTLE WERE SET.  GEAR LEVER PLACED DOWN MIDFIELD AFTER WHICH AN UNFAMILIAR WHISTLING NOISE WAS HEARD FOR SEVERAL SECONDS FLAPS LOWERED RIGHT AFTER GEAR HANDLE PLACE DOWN.  DEEP INTO FLAIR HEARD GEAR WARNING AND TRIED TO ADD POWER BUT SETTLED TO RUNWAY.  LIGHT SMOKE IN CABIN, CLEARED QUICKLY.  FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SWITCHES TURNED OFF."  ON SCENE INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 700 FEET PAST THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 19 AND SLID APPROX. 1000 FEET TO A STOP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF RUNWAY.  THE GEAR LEVER WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION.  DURING RECOVERY OF THE AIRCRAFT, IT WAS LIFTED INTO THE AIR, AND AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE THE GEAR USING THE AIRCRAFTS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, HOWEVER THE GEAR WAS LOWERED USING ITS HAND CRANK BEFORE IT WAS RELOCATED TO THE OWNER'S HANGAR.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY AS TO THE MECHANICAL CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT.

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.
