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 observed the left main gear extend but did not check the landing gear position indicator. The main gear collapsed during landing roll while the nose gear remained down and locked. Inspection revealed the warning horn did not activate due to some burned out electrical components and the gear did not come down due to an intermittent solenoid which activates the hydraulic pump to supply pressure for gear operation.
