## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MAY 4, 2004 FOLLOWING THE COMPLETION OF A ROUTINE TRAINING FLIGHT THE CREW PREPARED FOR LANDING, DURING THE SAFETY CHECK THE FIRST OFFICER NOTICED THAT AN UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION (RED LIGHT) WAS ILLUMINATED FOR THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. FOLLOWING NOTIFICATION TO THE CAPTAIN THE CREW INITIATED COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMPANY MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT, THE CREW WAS INSTRUCTED TO BEGIN MANUAL PROCEDURES TO EXTEND AND LOCK THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. FOLLOWING VISUAL CHECKS BY CONTROL TOWER PERSONNEL, AND OTHER AIRCRAFT THE CREW PROCEEDED WITH THE LANDING. FOLLOWING TOUCHDOWN THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED DURING ROLLOUT, WHICH RESULTED IN THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDING OFF THE RUNWAY. ALL OCCUPANTS WERE ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT INJURY. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT ENGINE PROPELLER, AND MINOR SKIN DAMAGE TO THE LOWER RIGHT WING AND CENTER MID FUSELAGE. INSPECTION AND OVERHAUL OF THE LANDING GEAR ACTUATORS AND LANDING GEAR MOTOR DID NOT REVEAL ANY MECHANICAL DEFECTS.

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.
