Probable cause
Gear down and locked not identified, and emergency procedures not performed by the pilot in command.
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
During the landing roll, with the nose wheel down, but the mains in trail position, the aircraft settled down to the runway resulting in substantial damage. Post accident investigation revealed a non-functioning gear-down horn, and the ldg gear hydraulic pump was producing insufficient pressure to secure the gear in the down position.
