Approach and Landing Gear Indication
On approach to land, the pilot lowered the landing gear handle. However, the nose gear light did not come on, and the right main gear light was flickering. The pilot then recycled the gear operation. After recycling, he reportedly observed all three gear indicating down and locked, but he expressed that the gear operation seemed to take longer than he remembered.
Landing Gear Collapse
During the landing, all three gear assemblies folded into the wheel wells.
Post-Accident Observations
After the accident, observers reported that the gear handle was in the down position, the flap handle was in the approach position, and the gear circuit breaker was popped. The aircraft was subsequently raised. The circuit breaker was reset, and the landing gear was cycled. The left main gear and nose gear came down and locked immediately. The right main gear also came down and locked after it was cleared from a jammed gear door.
Maintenance and Inspection
The aircraft was on its first flight after a 100-hour inspection. After the accident, it was flown back to the same facility and was further checked. Personnel at the facility reportedly found no malfunction of the landing gear system.
