Despite these attempts, the landing was completed with the gear only partially extended.
Post-Accident Examination
A detailed examination of the landing gear system was conducted after the occurrence. The inspection did not disclose any failure or malfunction within the system. During functional testing, it was discovered that when the landing gear handle was moved from the fully up position to the neutral position, the landing gear would lower to the trail position. This characteristic was noted during the investigation.
