Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot could not get the gear down green light to come on. Several checks made including a fly-by and a advisory that the gear appeared down. During the landing roll the right gear collapsed. Examination of the landing gear system revealed a bent righthand inboard drive tube. No other discrepancies were found.
