## Narrative

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

LANDING GEAR DID NOT EXTEND ELECTRICALLY (PRIMARY) OR VIA THE EMERGENCY GEAR EXTEND HANDLE (SECONDARY).  EMERGENCY EXTEND HANDLE WAS BOUND AND PILOT COULD NOT TURN IT TO EXTEND THE GEAR.  DECISION TO LAND GEAR UP AFTER CONFERRING WITH FBO MECHANIC TO ENSURE NO OTHER ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
