What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Accident investigation of the landing gear indicates that the gear was in-transit at touchdown. Evidence shows prop strikes on both propellers and landing gear door damage. The aircraft came to rest with the nose gear extended, the right gear partially extended and the left gear collapsed. Substantial damage occurred to the fuselage under the cabin entry which affected lateral formers, longitudinalstringers and skin. It has also been determined that damage to the pressure vessel would be a major repair. Evidence shows that the pilot forgot to extend the landing gear in sufficient time prior to touchdown.
