## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS ON APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE FINAL TO SDL RWY 21 WHEN THE PILOT REPORTED THEY HAD AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE EXTINGUISHED BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DO STATES THE PILOT DECIDED TO DO A LOW APPROACH FOR GEAR CHECK AND THEN MADE RIGHT TRAFFIC TO LAND ON RWY 21. AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT AND TAXIED TO LANDMARK AVIATION (MAINTENANCE FACILITY).

AIRCRAFT TAXIED TO MAINTENANCE WHO DETERMINED THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR PANEL #1 POWER SUPPLY HAD POPPED. WHEN CIRCUIT BREAKER RE-ENGAGED ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONED NORMALLY.

(CIRCUIT BREAKER ON #1 PANEL POPPED CAUSING LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO 2ND PANEL WHICH SUPPLIED POWER TO LANDING GEAR LIGHTS.)

THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS REPLACED BY MAINTENANCE AND THE AIRCRAFT HAS NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN SUBSEQUENT FLIGHTS.

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.
