## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT DEPARTED KCKM FOR KSGR ON A PART 91 CORPORATE FLIGHT. ON ROTATION PILOT HEARD A BANG; PILOT STATED THAT THE NOISE WAS CONSISTENT WITH A BLOWN TIRE. PILOT ATTEMPTED TO RAISE THE LANDING GEAR BUT DID NOT RECEIVE POSITIVE GEAR UP INDICATIONS. INDICATIONS OF HYDRAULIC FAILURE SUBSEQUENTLY NOTED IN THE COCKPIT. PILOT CONDUCTED SEVERAL LOW PASSES AT KCKM; OBSERVERS ON THE GROUND CONFIRMED THAT BOTH TIRES ON THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR APPEARED TO HAVE FAILED AND THAT HOSES WERE HANGING LOSE.

PILOT REPORTED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO CONTACT THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURERS TO SEEK TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. PILOT ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR WITH EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION. PILOT REPORTED DIFFICULTY IN EXTENDING THE HANDLE - EVENTUALLY ABLE TO PULL THE HANDLE RESULTING IN THE NOSE WHEEL BECOMING EXTENDED AND LOCKED. MAIN LANDING GEAR DID NOT INDICATE EXTENDED AND LOCKED. PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS SLOWED TO 130KTS DURING THE MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION.

DURING POST MISHAP INSPECTION THE MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION HANDLE WAS OBSERVED AS FULLY EXTENDED.

PILOT ELECTED TO CONDUCT A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING AT KUTA. INITIALLY UPON TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED NORMALLY ON THE LANDING GEAR. AT SOME POINT SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO VEER TO THE RIGHT EVENTUALLY DEPARTING THE RUNWAY. GROUND SCARES SUGGESTS THAT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER DEPARTING THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ABOUT 180FT OFF TO THE RIGHT ON THE RUNWAY RESTING ON THE NOSE GEAR AND MAIN BODY OF THE FUSELAGE.

PILOT AND PASSENGER EGRESSED WITH NO INJURIES.

DURING INTERVIEW, THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD SUFFERED MULTIPLE TIRE FAILURES IN THE PAST, BUT NEVER A DOUBLE TIRE FAILURE (MAIN TIRES: 16 X 4.4, 12 PLY, GOODYEAR FLIGHT EAGLE; PART #164F28-1).

IT IS THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE INVESTIGATING FAA OFFICE THAT THE MANUFACTURER PRODUCES A MALFUNCTION REPORT CONCERNING THE TIRES USED ON THE SJ30.

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.
