## Narrative

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

ON JANUARY 8, 2013, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH GEAR UP AT TERRY COUNTY AIRPORT NEAR BROWNFIELD, TX.  THE PILOT SAID THAT WHILE ENROUTE FROM BROWNFIELD, TX TO LUBBOCK, TX., THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED AVIONICS ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND HE ELECTED TO RETURN TO BROWNFIELD.  THE AIRMAN SAID HE THOUGHT HE HAD A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE AND THE PILOT, WHO WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT, WAS NOT INJURED.

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.
