## Narrative

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

PILOT REPORTED UNSAFE GEAR INDICATION ON INITIAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 30L AT MSP.  THE PILOT CONTACTED MSP TOWER, INFORMED THEM OF THE GEAR ISSUE AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, REQUESTING DELAY VECTORS SO THEY COULD COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE CHECKLISTS.  PIC AND FO BOTH COMPLETED THE NON-NORMAL CHECKLIST FOR THE LANDING GEAR AND WERE UNABLE TO GET A GREEN INDICATION FOR THE R/H MAIN GEAR.  A LOW FLY BY WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN COORDINATION WITH THE MSP TOWER TO OBTAIN AN VISUAL OF THE GEAR POSITION BY TOWER PERSONNEL.  THE VISUAL INDICATION BY THE TOWER WAS THAT ALL OF THE GEAR APPEARED TO BE IN THE DOWN POSITION.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON 30L AND THE R/H GEAR COLLAPSED SLOWLY ON ROLLOUT.  PILOTS WERE ABLE TO KEEP AIRCRAFT UNDER CONTROL COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE RUNWAY.

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.
