## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT ENGINE ON CLIMBOUT LOST POWER.  PILOT LANDED AT THE END OF THE DEPARTURE RUNWAY (NO TURNS) AND WAS UNABLE TO FULLY EXTEND MAIN GEAR PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT IN THE CONFIGURATION RECOVERED FUEL FLOW COULD NOT BE ESTABLISHED. RESELECTION OF RIGHT FUEL TANK DISLODGED AN APPARANT BLOCKAGE.  FLOW WAS THEN  AVAILABLE IN LEFT, BOTH AND RIGHT TANKS SELECTED. ENGINE WAS RUN SUCCESFULLY AND WAS CAPABLE OF POWER OUTPUT.
