Probable cause
Lack of hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic system.
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
While landing, the main landing gear collapsed, but the nose gear remained down and locked. The aircraft then veered to the right and came to rest off the side of the runway. An inspection of the aircraft revealed a loss of fluid from the hydraulic system.
