## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT DEPARTED ADS, DURING THE LANDING SEQUENCE AT PWG THE GEAR WAS EXTENDED AND NO HORN WAS NOTED BY PILOTS OR PASSENGERS. ABOUT THE TIME THE NOSE GEAR CAME DOWN, THE HORN WENT OFF AND THE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE AIRCRAFT REMAINED ON THE RUNWAY, BUT EVENTUALLY WENT OFF THE RUNWAY. THIS WAS DUE TO THE RIGHT HAND MAIN GEAR COLLAPSING BEFORE THE L/H MAIN GEAR. AS A PASSENGER STATED, THE LANDING WAS GOOD UNTIL IT WASN’T.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
