## Narrative

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

ON FEBRUARY 21, 2013 THE CLT FSDO RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL  FROM ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ NOTIFYING THE CLT FSDO THAT WHILE FLYING AIRCRAFT N210Y ON 2/20/2013 HE EXPERIENCED A NOSE LANDING GEAR UP, LANDING EVENT AT APPROXIMATELY 1845 AT RUTHERFORD COUNTY AIRPORT (FQD). ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED THAT HE WAS THE PILOT IN COMMAND FLYING THE AIRCRAFT AND HAD ONE PASSENGER ONBOARD, BOTH WERE UNINJURED. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED THAT HE HAD REMOVED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE RUNWAY AFTER THE GEAR UP LANDING, AND RELOCATED IT TO HIS HANGAR ON THE AIRFIELD DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS FOR OTHER AIRBORNE AIRCRAFT IN THE AREA. MR. HYDE STATED HE CIRCLED THE AIRFIELD FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR ATTEMPTING TO EXTEND THE GEAR WHILE HE PERFORMED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND NOTIFIED EMERGENCY RESPONDERS.

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION INSPECTORS RESPONDED TO THE INCIDENT  ON FEBRUARY 21, 2013 AND EXAMINED THE AIRCRAFT AND COLLECTED INFORMATION. THE INSPECTORS CONFIRMED IMPACT DAMAGE TO: 2 BENT PROPELLER BLADE TIPS, NOSE LANDING GEAR DOOR DAMAGE, ENGINE EXHAUST DAMAGE, AND FORWARD BELLY SKIN DAMAGE. THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE WAS DETERMINED NOT TO BE SUBSTANTIAL PER FAA ORDER 8011.20C AND THE ASSIGNED NTSB INVESTIGATOR.

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.
