## Narrative

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

ON MARCH 15, 2025 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:40 PM,  AIRCRAFT DEPARTED CRAIG AIRPORT (RUNWAY 14) ENROUTE BACK TO TALLAHASSEE. THE CLIMB OUT INSTRUCTIONS WERE “CLIMB TO 3000 AND TURN RIGHT TO A HEADING OF 240 DEGREES. AFTER LIFTOFF, PNAC MADE THE CALL “POSITIVE RATE” AT WHICH TIME PAC RESPONDED “GEAR UP”. WHEN PILOT PNAC MOVED THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE TO THE “UP” POSITION, BOTH PILOTS HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A CRUNCHING NOISE AND THE AMBER GEAR DISAGREE MASSAGE APPEARED ON THE PFDS. THE THREE GREEN LANDING GEAR INDICATORS ON THE MFD CHANGED TO AMBER.

DECISION WAS MADE TO CONTINUE TO TLH.  UPON DESCENT INTO TLH, CO-PILOT COMPLETED THE CHECKLIST BY PLACING THE GEAR HANDLE BACK IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH CHANGED THE AMBER GEAR INDICATORS BACK TO GREEN INDICATING THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.

AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT AND TAXIED TO RAMP.

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.
