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
During landing roll-out the left main and nose gear collapsed. The pilot stated in his report that he does not recall touching any switches on roll-out. However, upon exiting the aircraft, the pilot reported that the landing gear relay was tripped open and the flaps had been retracted. Inspection of the landing gear after the accident did not reveal any mechanical failure of the gear or its components.
