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 left main landing gear was disassembled & reassembled by company maintenance personnel & the acft was being ferried to another base for permanent landing gear repairs. During takeoff, the left main landing gear and shock strut seperated from the acft. The plt made an emerg landing without the left main gear wheels. An exam of the gear revealed that the upper bearing halves & piston damping ring were installed using the maintenance manual. Review of the maintenance manual revealed that the landing gear assembly procedures were misleading. The manufacturer issued a temp revision to the manual for landing gear assembly.
