## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)AFTER ELVELING THE ACFT @ 3000 FT FOLLOWING A T/O, PILOT NOTICED THAT THE LANDING GEAR SELECTOR WAS NOT IN THE CORRECT POSITION FOLLOWING THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTION (ALSO A YAW TO THE RIGHT).  LANDING GEAR WAS RECYCLED SEVERAL TIMES WITH ONLY (2) GREEN LTS (LH MAIN & NOSE) INDICATION.  EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION WAS USED THEN WITH THE SAME RESULTS.  AFTER SEVERAL LOW PASSES TO VERIFY WITH GROUND PERSONNEL GEAR POSITION (APPREAS TO THEM THAT IT WAS LOCKED), PILOT LANDED THE ACFT ON RWY 5.  SHORTLY AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE ACFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT (NO BRAKES APPLIED), CAME OFF THE RWY, RH MLG COLLAPSED AND CAME TO A STOP.  DAMAGE TO THE RH SIDE PROP, FLAP AND MLG INBOARD DOOR WAS SUSTAINED.  INVESTIGATION REVEALS THAT THE ROD END (P/N 762554) OF THE HYD ACTUATOR (WIEBEL, MODEL 2115-1, P/N 451 825) FAILED AFTER UNLOCKING THE RH GEAR ON RETRACTION AT A POINT IN WHICH GEAR WOULD NOT FALL BACK INOT A LOCK POSITION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
