What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The investigation of this incident revealed that the landing gear was partially extended. In this case the nose gear doors were just open. Both main gear appeared to have equal extension, approximately in the first 20% of movement to the down position. In the cockpit the gear handle was in the down position. The landing gear circuit breaker was popped. This condition appears to be consistent with the pilots? Statement. During a phone interview on 04/13/2021, privacy data omitted shared that the turbulence coupled with the extreme difficulty in making radio contact with klck tower led to his channelized attention, resulting in his failure to complete his normal ?landing flow? Habit pattern and therefore failed to verify the gear was fully extended prior to landing.
