  - landing gear,normal brake system - loose (cause)
  - maintenance,annual inspection - inadequate, other maintenance personnel (cause)
  - landing gear,main gear - jammed (cause)
  - gear extension - not possible, pilot in command (contributing factor)

## 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.
