## Narrative

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

DURING FLIGHT, THE R/H MAIN LANDING GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND; HOWEVER, THE L/H LANDING EXTENDED NORMALLY.  AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CYCLE THE GEAR, A LANDING WAS MADE WITH THE GEAR IN THE UP POSITION.  POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT THE (P/N 1281001-3) ACTUATOR BODY HAD CRACKED LOCKING THE R/H GEAR IN THE RETRACTED POSITION.  NOTE: SPECIAL AIRWORTHINESS INFORMATION BULLETIN NO. CE-02-10 AND NTSB SAFETY RECOMMENDATION A-99-37 AND -38 FURTHER ADDRESS THIS SERVICE DIFFICULTY.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
