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 was practicing touch and go landings. He stated the landing gear collapsed during landing. Investigation revealed gear door damage (gear intransit) and ldg gear circuit breaker was 'popped.' Post accident exam of the gear system failed to reveal any mechanical failure/ malfunction which would have prevented normal operation of the landing gear.
