## Narrative

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

(-23)UPON TOUCHDOWN AT ST. THOMAS AIRPORT, RIGHT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER VARIOUS SECONDS OF ROLLING DOWN. INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED THAT A BROKEN PRESSURE HYDRAULIC LINE THAT BROKE UPON LANDING GEAR DOWN SELECTION, CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEPLETION OF HYDRAULIC OIL FROM RESERVIOR, THUS NOT ALLOWING RIGHT GEAR TO EXTEND AND LOCK PROPERLY.

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.
