## Narrative

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

AN UNSAFE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR INDICATION WAS EXPERIENCED AFTER TAKEOFF.  ON LANDING ROLLOUT, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR & LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.  DURING AIRCRAFT RECOVERY, AFTER THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED FROM THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY, ONE OF THE LIFTING STRAPS BROKE, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO FALL TO THE GROUND.

AMENDED 11/21/2012 ROCHE: EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT IDENTIFIED THAT A FAILED SEAL IN THE LANDING GEAR ROTARY SELECTOR CONTROL VALVE CAUSED THE LANDING GEAR NOT TO LOCK IN THE DOWN POSITION.
