Narrative:

Flying at 500 ft AGL over judith mountains when engine lost power. Aircraft is a 1962 cessna 210. Established glide for plains east of mountains while trying to restart engine and lower gear. Engine driven hydraulic pump and manual pump did not give green gear light. Aircraft landed long and gear folded. Aircraft received propeller, fuselage, gear and wing damage, but there were no injuries. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: this incident has been investigated by the local FAA. They found that the engine stoppage was probably caused by fuel contamination as there was 'plenty of trash in the sumps.' the reporter was flying solo, but he wishes that there had been some help to pump the landing gear down. He has heard nothing further from the FAA on this. The reporter had to 'hop over a fence.' he feels that the damage would have been considerably less had there been no fence.

Title: OFF ARPT LNDG.

Narrative: FLYING AT 500 FT AGL OVER JUDITH MOUNTAINS WHEN ENG LOST PWR. ACFT IS A 1962 CESSNA 210. ESTABLISHED GLIDE FOR PLAINS E OF MOUNTAINS WHILE TRYING TO RESTART ENG AND LOWER GEAR. ENG DRIVEN HYD PUMP AND MANUAL PUMP DID NOT GIVE GREEN GEAR LIGHT. ACFT LANDED LONG AND GEAR FOLDED. ACFT RECEIVED PROP, FUSELAGE, GEAR AND WING DAMAGE, BUT THERE WERE NO INJURIES. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THIS INCIDENT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE LCL FAA. THEY FOUND THAT THE ENG STOPPAGE WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY FUEL CONTAMINATION AS THERE WAS 'PLENTY OF TRASH IN THE SUMPS.' THE RPTR WAS FLYING SOLO, BUT HE WISHES THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME HELP TO PUMP THE LNDG GEAR DOWN. HE HAS HEARD NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE FAA ON THIS. THE RPTR HAD TO 'HOP OVER A FENCE.'
