A PA28 PLT HAS TO LAND IN AN EMER CONDITION WHEN HIS R MAIN LNDG GEAR FAILS TO COME DOWN.

Narrative

UPON DEP; THE GEAR IN TRANSIT LIGHT REMAINED LIT. UPON REACHING 2500 FT MSL; I BEGAN CYCLING THE GEAR TO SEE IF THE GEAR IN TRANSIT LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. IT WOULD NOT; IN UP OR DOWN POS. I COULD TELL THAT SOME OF THE GEAR WAS RETRACTING AND GOING DOWN BY THE AMP GAUGE AND SOUND; BUT THE LIGHT REMAINED ON IN THE GEAR UP POS. I CONTACTED ZME TO GET CLRNC AND OPENED THE IFR PLAN. I WAS 12.5 MI E OF MKL WHEN RADAR CONTACT WAS MADE. I CONTINUED TWICE MORE TO CYCLE THE GEAR AND SUSPECTED POSSIBLY A MICROSWITCH HAD FAILED. I INFORMED ATC OF MY SIT. WHEN I CONTACTED BNA APCH; I SUGGESTED THAT I DO A FLY-BY AND SEE IF MY GEAR WAS COMING DOWN. I ALSO MADE A CELL CALL TO MY FBO AND DISCUSSED THE SIT WITH THE MECH AND MY INSTRUCTOR. IT WAS SUGGESTED THEN THAT I COME ON TO LEBANON AND DO A FLY-BY AND ALLOW THE MECH TO LOOK. I WAS CLRED AROUND NASHVILLE BY BNA APCH. UPON REACHING M54; I CANCELED MY IFR PLAN. I MADE A MID FIELD PASS AND A RWY LOW PASS ON RWY 19 AND THE MECH TOLD ME THE R GEAR WAS IN THE HUB. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I TRY AND SHAKE THE GEAR OUT WHICH I HAD DONE NEAR JACKSON AND DO A FEW DIVE AND CLBS ATTEMPTING TO GET THE GEAR DOWN USING THE EMER OVERRIDE GEAR EXTENSION. I CONTACTED ATC AND LET THEM KNOW MY SIT AND ASKED TO ALLOW ME TO MONITOR THEIR FREQ FOR TFC. AFTER CLBING TO 5000 FT AND MAKING SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE GEAR SHOOK LOOSE; I DETERMINED THAT THE GEAR WAS NOT COMING OUT. THE MECH AND MY INSTRUCTOR AND I WENT THROUGH A CHKLIST AGAIN. WE DETERMINED I HAD DONE ALL THAT COULD BE DONE TO DROP THE GEAR. I CANCELED MY FLT FOLLOWING AND PREPARED FOR A GEAR UP LNDG. FLAPS WERE SET TO 0 DEGS; PWR SET TO THE LOWEST SPD POSSIBLE; AND I WAS TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE ENG AND PROP JUST ABOVE THE RWY AND FLOAT DOWN FOR A SLOW LNDG. I UNLATCHED THE DOOR. ON FINAL; AIRSPD WAS AT 80 MPH AND I OPENED THE DOOR. UPON REACHING THE RWY AND ABOUT 400 FT AGL; I PULLED THE MIXTURE OFF AND THE ENG QUIT BUT THE PROP REMAINED TURNING. I LANDED ON RWY 19 AND SKIDDED ABOUT 200 FT AND UNFASTENED MY SEATBELT AND EXITED THE PLANE. I WENT BACK AND TURNED ALL PWR OFF IN 30 SECONDS ONCE THE FIRE TRUCKS WERE NEAR THE PLANE.
