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
Prior to landing, the pilot was unable to extend the left main gear and elected to land with all gear retracted. An investigation revealed that a bolt in the left main gear brake assembly was loose and jammed the wheel in the wheel well. An annual inspection was performed on this aircraft on 1/7/82. Reportedly, it had flown only 3 hrs since the inspection. According to the aircraft logbook, the landing gear wheels were removed for service and inspection during the annual inspection.
