The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot reported that the number 1 alternator bus circuit breaker tripped causing a loss of electrical power. The circuit breaker was reset and electrical power was momentarily restored. The pilot elected to return to keky. The number 2 alternator bus circuit breaker tripped and would not reset. The aircraft then experienced a total loss of electrical power.
The pilot executed a go-around maneuver during initial approach to eky to avoid conflicting traffic. On the second approach the pilot positioned the gear lever to the down position but the gear did not extend due to the electrical failure. The gear position indicator was not operational and pilot failed to execute the emergency gear extension procedure. The pilot made a gear-up landing at approximately 1000 local.
