What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft initially took off from ktta.
Pilot, during landing at ksop, went to put landing gear down, however the landing gear motor circuit breaker popped and the pilot smelled electrical smoke.
Pilot began emergency procedures and attempted to deploy gear using manual gear crank, but manual crank was immobile. Pilot then flew to ktta and spoke with several ground personnel but again could not get gear down. Pilot's wife attempted to get gear down, but landing gear manual crank broke off.
As kpgv has a long runway and emergency facilities, pilot elected that airport as landing place where he would perform a gear up landing and performed emergency landing checklist.
Pilot performed gear up landing at pgv. No injuries in the aircraft or on the ground.
