## Narrative

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

THE PILOT PUT THE LANDING GEAR LEVER IN THE DOWN POSITION.  THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE INDICATING THE GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED.  THE PILOT'S WINDOW, THE MAIN LANDING GEAR WAS SEEN JUST FLOPPING.  AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO USE THE EMERGENCY GEAR LEVER TO GET THE LANDING GEAR IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION.  THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GET SUFFICIENT HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO OPERATE THE LANDING GEAR.  THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE SIGHT GLASS LOCATED BY THE LANDING GEAR LEVER WAS NOT SHOWING HYDRAULIC FLUID.  THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT AND THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.  NO MAJOR OR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE WAS NOTED.  NO INJURIES.

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.
