What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On December 31, 2014, at approximately 1620 CDT a Cessna 210K had incident involving the failure of the aircraft landing gear. The incident occurred at the end of the second leg of a flight. Upon preparation for landing at FAR, the gear failed to extend. Emergency procedures also failed to extend the landing gear. The flight was extended for approximately 45 minutes to burn off fuel and to troubleshoot the landing gear with no success. Upon landing, the nose gear was down and remained extended.
