## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MAY 12, 2000, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (PIC) WAS FLYING WITH ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (SIC) ON A LOCAL TRAINING FLIGHT PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO'S. ON THE 5TH TOUCH AND GO, WITH FLAPS IN THE UP POSITION AND A DIRECT CROSSWIND, THE R/H MAIN LANDING GEAR TOUCHED DOWN FIRST AND THEN NOSE LANDING GEAR SECOND AND WHEN THE L/H MAIN LANDING GEAR TOUCHED THEY HEARD A "POP". SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT BUT THE L/H MLG FELT LIKE IT WAS COLLAPSING EACH TIME. THE CREW LEFT THE FLAPS IN THE UP POSITION AND THE GEAR PARTIALLY RETRACTED AND SET IT DOWN ON THE RUNWAY WHERE IT CAME TO REST IN THE GRASS TO THE RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY 12R. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE AND NO ONE WAS HURT. UPON INVESTIGATION THE BOLT (AN25-38A) WHICH CONNECTS THE L/H SIDE BRACE ASSY (5141001-33) AND L/H BELLCRANK ASSY (5041001-5) HAD SHEARED IN THE DOWNWARD DIRECTION. BECAUSE THIS BOLT HAD SHEARED, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE L/H MLG TO BE EXTENDED OR RETRACTED. TOTAL TIME ON BOLT 405 HRS. LAST INSPECTION OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM WAS 30.0 HRS PRIOR.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
