## Narrative

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

WHILE ENROUTE FROM CLINTON-SAMSON COUNTY AIRPORT TO WILSON INDUSTRIAL AIR CENTER AIRPORT, THE AIRCRAFT RADIO DISPLAYS BEGAN TO FLICKER, FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF THE AVIONICS DISPLAYS.  THE PILOT STATED THERE WERE NO ASSOCIATED WARNINGS.  WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WERE SELECTED DOWN FOR LANDING, THE PILOT POSITION, HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM BECAUSE THE GEAR INDICATOR STATED IT SOUNDED LIKE THE LANDING GEAR FULLY EXTENDED AND LOCKED INTO LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATED.  UPON TOUCHDOWN ON THE RUNWAY, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER BLADES, ENGINE COWLING, LANDING GEAR DOORS, AND FORWARD NOSE GEAR EXTENSION ROD.  POST-INCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT READILY IDENTIFY A CAUSE FOR THE ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

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.
