## Narrative

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

(-23) WITNESS STATEMENTS SUPPORT PILOT'S CLAIM THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS FULLY EXTENDED UPON TOUCH DOWN. TOWARD THE END OF LANDING ROLL-OUT ALL THREE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED WITH SELECTOR IN DOWN POSITION. DURING RETRIEVAL THE LANDING GEAR FREELY EXTENDED AND LOCKED IN DOWN POSITION, WITH ELECTRICAL POWER ON THE LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR COULD BE HEARD RUNNING. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES AND MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE BULLETINS INVOLVING THE LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR, THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY AN INTERNAL FAILURE CAUSED THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSE. WHEN OWNER MAKES FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS FOR REPAIRS, ACTUATOR IDENTITY, TIME IN SERVICE, AD COMPLIANCE STATUS, AND AREA OF FAILURE WILL BE DETERMINED. A MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED AND THIS 8020-23 UPDATED.

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.
