## Narrative

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

THE FLIGHT FROM KYH TO ACZ WAS UNEVENTFUL UNTIL 10 MILES OUT.

IT WAS NOTED THE ELECTRIC HSI STARTED OSCILLIATING 5 DEGREES.

THAT WAS FOLLOWED WITHIN A MINUTE THE ANALOG FUEL FLOW STARTED OSCILLATONG AND DROPPED TO ZERO AND  THE OIL TEMPETURE INDICATION DROPPED TO ZERO.THE PILOT NOTED A LOUD HIGH PITCH NOISE IN THE HEADSET AND THEN THE AIRCRAFT HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

THE LANDING GEAR WAS EXTENDED MANUALLY, NO IDICATION OF THE GEAR DOWN AND LOCK WAS NOTED DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

THE AIRCRAFT LANDED NORMALLY AND ON THE ROOL OUT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLASPED FOLLOWED BY THE LET GEAR AND THE NOSE GEAR.

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.
