Incident Details
A pilot experienced an electrical failure while en route to the destination airport. Upon approach, the pilot lowered the landing gear using the gear switch handle. He reported hearing the landing gear lower and feeling the airplane slow down. Normal indications confirmed that the landing gear was down, and the pilot visually verified the gear position using the mirror on the left wing. Additionally, the pilot used the manual crank to ensure the gear was in the locked position.
Landing and Damage
As the airplane touched down, the right landing gear and nose gear collapsed. The right wing sustained substantial damage. The extent of other damage was not reported.
Examination
A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector examined the airplane's electrical system. The examination showed system reliability, indicating no issues with the electrical components.
Conclusion
No probable cause was determined from the available information. The investigation did not identify a causal factor for the gear collapse.
