What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Crewmembers state that the landing gear "unsafe" light illuminated when the gear was retracted on a go around (balked landing) from a private airport (2NC0) in the western north carolina mountains. According to the crewmembers statement, when the gear was cycled down again, the right gear would not indicate down and locked. The crewmembers then initiated the emergency gear extension check list items including use of the nitrogen blow down system, and still could not get the right main gear to lock. A landing was attempted at gso and the right main gear subsequently collapsed on roll out. Examination of the right main landing gear after recovery from the runway indicates the right main gear suffered substantial damage. Some landing gear parts were missing and not recovered from the accident site or on the airport grounds.
