## Narrative

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

(-23)WHEN LANDING AT LANCASTER AIRPORT, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR INDICATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE GEAR APPEARED TO BE DOWN ACCORDING TO LANCASTER TOWER OPERATORS.  EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION PROCEDURES WERE ACCOMPLISHED.  UPON LANDING, THE RIGHT GEAR COLLAPSED.  INSPECTION OF THE LANDING GEAR REVEALED THE HYRALIC PUMP FAILED.  A M&D REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED AS SOON AS  A POSITIVE DETERMINATION IS MADE.

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.
