## Discrepancy

THIS HOSE IS CONNECTED TO THE INPUT SIDE OF THE LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR. THE HOSE NIPPLE BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE SOCKET ALLOWING THE HYD FLUID TO LEAK OUT PREVENTING THE LT MAIN AND NLG FROM EXTENDING TO THE LOCK POSITION.  THE ACFT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING.  THE LANDING GEAR DOORS, PROPELLERS, LT WING TIP, AND LT FLAP WERE DAMAGED DURING THE EMERGENCY LANDING.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED.
