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 acft had not been flown in over 2 yrs & the last annual inspection was performed 1-25-83. The acft had to be jump started due to a dead battery. During ldg roll-out, the gear collapsed. An exam of the bottom of the acft revealed damage consistent with the gear not being fully down & locked. Emergency gear extension was not used. The acft was subsequently placed on jacks & after adequate electrical power was supplied to the system, the gear functioned normally through several cycles.
