## Narrative

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

DURING FLIGHT TRAINING WITH A CFI, THE AIRCRAFT WAS LANDING AT HEREFORD MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (HRX) WHEN THE GEAR SWITCH WAS MOVED TO THE DOWN POSITION THE AIRCRAFT LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER.

THE CFI TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND EXECUTED A GO-AROUND.  THEY CIRCLED THE AIRPORT AND DISCOVERED THE MASTER CIRCUIT BREAKER AND LANDING GEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER HAD POPPED.  THEY RESET THE MASTER BREAKER AND REGAINED RADIOS.  THEY RESET THE LANDING GEAR BREAKER, AND IT POPPED AGAIN.

THEY ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR. HOWEVER, THE LANDING GEAR DEPLOYED APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER OF THE WAY AND STUCK.

THEY LANDED THE AIRCRAFT ON RUNWAY 20 CAUSING SOME SKIN DAMAGE TO UNDERSIDE OF AIRCRAFT, AND PROPELLERS SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL PROPELLER STRIKES ON BOTH PROPELLER BLADES.

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.
