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 plt stated that when he extended his landing gear all seemed normal except he did not get a green light, he recycled the gear with the same result & then flew by the tower & they stated that the gear appeared to be down, but upon touchdown after a ground roll of appx 200 ft, the left main gear collapsed and the acft slid off the left side of the rwy collapsing the remaining gear. No determination could be made as to the nature of the malfunction of the landing gear system as described by the pilot.
