## Narrative

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

THE PILOT NEEDED TO JUMP START HIS AIRCRAFT BEFORE HE LEFT. ONCE HE TOOK OFF HE SELECTED THE GEAR HANDLE UP. ALL THE GEAR MOVED THEN ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHUT OFF. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GET POWER RESTORED. WHEN HE ARRIVED AT TITUSVILLE HE USED THE EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION TO LOWER THE GEAR. HE COULD NOT TELL IF THE GEAR WAS DOWN SO HE CONTACTED THE TOWER BY CELL PHONE TO CHECK IT. THE NOSE GEAR WAS NOT DOWN ALL THE WAY. HE USED THE EMERGENCY SYSTEM AGAIN AND THE GEAR DID NOT APPEAR DOWN. THE PILOT SLOWED THE AIRCRAFT DOWN AND LANDED AND UPON TOUCHDOWN THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
