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 indicated that the left main gear collapsed during landing rollout. The pilot did not respond to the following questions, when asked during a telephone interview, 'when was the gear placed down? And what did the gear safe indicator lights indicate at touchdown? All the pilot would state is that he followed the checklist. The checklist states gear should be down prior to 'when landing assured.' Exam of the acft revealed rotational scoring on the painted surface of the left main gear actuator assembly. Further component teardown and exam revealed that the screw housing assembly of the actuator was bent.
