THE MECHANIC WHO EXAMINED THE AIRCRAFT STATED THAT THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR FAILED TO LOCK, HOWEVER HE WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE RIGGING WAS OUT OF LIMITS OR IF THE ACTUATING ROD HAD FAILED. HE NOTED THAT MAJOR REPAIRS HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LANDING GEAR AREA PRIOR TO THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
