As reported to the FAA. Reports are unverified, and codes are left as the FAA publishes them.

What was found

(CAN) RIGHT MLG WOULD NOT EXTEND. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 150 ATTEMPTS, THE GEAR EXTENDED INTO A DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE MISALIGNMENT OF THE INBOARD GEAR DOOR DUE TO ELONGATED HOLES IN THE HINGE BRACKETS (P/N 27-55 001-213) CAUSED THE DOOR TO BIND AT THE AFT END PREVENTING THE GEAR FROM EXTENDING.
