Probable cause
The failure of the main gear locking mechanism.
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 private pilot landed during a local flight. According to the pilot, after rolling 300 feet following touchdown, the left main landing gear collapsed. The left wing, horizontal stabilizer and left main fuel tank were damaged. A postaccident inspection revealed a relay and switch out of adjustment, and working intermittently. This allowed the gear to interrupt extension prior to down lock.
