On October 18, 2023, about 1736 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 210B airplane, N9597X, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident while landing at the Pueblo Municipal Airport (PUB), Pueblo, Colorado. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that during landing gear retraction after takeoff, he heard a “pop” that emanated from the rear cockpit area, and the landing gear retraction handle did not return to the center position as expected. He attempted to extend the landing gear, but it would not extend. He attempted the emergency extension procedures which allowed the landing gear doors to open, and the landing gear came out of their respective landing gear wells. Only the nose landing gear locked into the down position and the main landing gear remained partially extended.
The pilot contacted the PUB controller and elected to remain airborne for several hours to burn off some of the fuel supply. Multiple additional attempts to lower the landing gear were unsuccessful and the pilot eventually executed a landing to runway 8R at PUB. During the landing, the nose landing gear remained in the down position and the main landing gear were in a partially extended position. The airplane skidded to a stop and incurred substantial damage to the left horizontal stabilizer and elevator.
