## Narrative

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

ON 4/16/2017 AROUND 1500 LOCAL N824MZ TOOK OFF FROM BFI. SHORTLY AFTER TAKE OFF THE PILOT NOTICED HIS AUTO PILOT FAILED, AND THE REST OF HIS AVIONICS CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO PAE, BUT FAILED TO ATTEMPT TO PUT HIS LADING GEAR DOWN. THE PILOT WAS GIVEN A RED LIGHT BY PA TOWER PERSONAL BECAUSE HIS LADING GEAR WAS STILL UP. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP ON RUNWAY 34L WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO BOTH PROPS AND THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
