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 experienced a problem directly after takeoff when he discovered the landing gear would not retract. After continually trying to lock the gear in place, he executed an emergency landing. Investigation revealed a malfunction in the hydraulic power pack which operates the nose landing gear causing the main landing gear to fail to extend and lock.
