## Preliminary report

On January 13, 2026, about 1100 eastern standard time, a Raytheon Aircraft Company G58 airplane, N58GL sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Savannah, Georgia. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 corporate flight. The pilot reported that during approach to landing into Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), Savannah, Georgia, he selected the landing gear handle to the down position; however, none of the three green landing gear down-and-locked indicator lights nor the red gear unsafe light illuminated. After cycling the landing gear handle with no change in indications, he executed a go-around. During the go around, the red gear unsafe light illuminated. The pilot retracted the landing gear per the normal go-around procedures and requested vectors to a local practice area to troubleshoot the problem. After the landing gear handle was cycled a third time, and the landing gear again failed to extend, the pilot consulted with maintenance and completed the manual landing gear extension checklist. Upon completion, the pilot observed three green landing gear down-and-locked lights illuminated. He subsequently performed a low approach over the airport, and the air traffic controller in the tower confirmed the landing gear in the extended (down) position. During the second approach, with full flaps selected and the three green landing gear down-and-locked lights illuminated, the pilot conducted a soft field landing. The touchdown was “smooth”; however, after derotation, the pilot felt a thump and simultaneous observed the red gear unsafe light illuminate, accompanied by the warning horn as the green landing gear indication lights extinguished. The pilot held back on the control yoke, moved the mixture controls to idle cutoff, retarded the throttles and feathered the propellers, which stopped rotating before the nose settled onto the runway surface. The airplane skidded to a stop, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage. A postaccident examination by an FAA inspector revealed an inoperative landing gear motor. In addition, with the airplane on jacks and while conducting a manual gear extension procedure an anomaly with the landing gear switches was observed.
