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
On touchdown the left main gear collapsed. No green down and locked light was observed prior to touchdown and the pilot made no attempt to go around, recycle the gear, OR other landing gear malfunction procedures. A retraction check after the accident showed the "down lock hook" for the left main gear failed to engage.
