Event Summary
After takeoff, the pilot attempted to retract the landing gear. During this operation, the hydraulic line on the right main gear actuator failed. As a result, the left main landing gear became stuck in the trailing position, while the nose gear and right main gear remained extended and locked. The pilot initiated the appropriate emergency procedures to lower the left main landing gear, but the emergency extension system was also inoperative. Subsequently, the pilot executed a partial gear-up landing at the destination airport. During the landing roll, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Inspection Findings
Examination of the aircraft revealed that the right main landing gear actuating down line, Cessna part number 2880001-1, had failed at the flare and pulled out from the fitting attaching the line to the actuator.
