## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT (N44802) WAS CONDUCTING A VFR (CLEAR SKIES, WINDS 090 AT 5 KNOTS) PATTERN FLIGHT AT NORTH PERRY AIRPORT (KHWO) AT APPROXIMATELY 2140 HOURS ON MAY 9, 2022. THE STUDENT PILOT STATED THAT HE PERFORMED HIS NORMAL PREFLIGHT INSPECTIONS, STARTUP PROCEDURES AND MADE SURE THE WEATHER WAS WITHIN HIS LIMITATIONS. THE PILOT PERFORMED ONE PATTERN AROUND THE AIRPORT, AND MENTIONED THAT UPON LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT FELT NORMAL UNTIL THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED ALONG WITH THE NOSE LANDING GEAR, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO SLIDE TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF RUNWAY 10R AND STOPPING ABOUT 5 FEET INTO THE GRASSY AREA. DUE TO THE COLLAPSE LANDING GEARS, THE STRUCTURE DAMAGE IS MODERATE AND THE COLLAPSE GEAR CAUSED THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE GROUND. THERE IS NOTICEABLE DAMAGE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RIGHT WING AND THE NOSE LANDING ASSEMBLY. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. AIRCRAFT WILL NEED TO BE INSPECTED FOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND THE ENGINE WILL BE INSPECTED FOR SUDDEN STOPPAGE. SEVERAL CYCLING?S OF THE LANDING GEAR SHOWED THE LANDING GEAR DOWN LOCK SOLENOID WAS STICKING, CYCLING THE LANDING GEAR RESOLVED THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY. ALSO THE LANDING GEAR INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE DIMMED TO ITS LOWEST INTENSITY, ESSENTIALLY NOT GIVING THE PILOT A POSITIVE LANDING GEAR DEPLOYMENT INDICATION. PILOT STATEMENT STATED HE HAD THREE GREEN, INDICATING ALL 3 WERE DOWN AND LOCKED, THIS INSPECTOR DOUBTS THIS STATEMENT. IT IS SUMMARIZED THAT THE PILOT DID NOT VERIFY HE HAD THE LANDING GEAR PROPERLY DEPLOYED, DUE TO THE PILOT NOT HAVING ANY DOCUMENTED TRAINING FOR COMPLEX AIRCRAFT. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STUDENT PILOT DID NOT HAVE AN ENDORSEMENT FOR NIGHT SOLO FLIGHT, NOR A MEDICAL CERTIFICATE, THE AIRCRAFT WAS OUT OF ANNUAL INSPECTION AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT CURRENTLY REGISTERED.
