NTSB narrative
THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR DID NOT FULLY RETRACT AFTER TAKEOFF. ATTEMPTS BY THE PILOT AND PILOT-RATED PASSENGER TO GET ALL THREE GEAR EXTENDED FOR LANDING WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL. ON LANDING ROLL-OUT, THE LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR RETRACTION LINKAGES WERE FOUND BROKEN AT THE POINT EACH ATTACHED TO THE GEAR. NO OTHER EVIDENCE OF FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS NOTED IN THE MAIN LANDING GEAR LINKAGES AND TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS THE PILOT'S FIRST FLIGHT IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF AIRCRAFT.
Probable cause
FAILURE OF THE LANDING GEAR EXTENSION AND RETRACTION SYSTEM FOR AN UNDETERMINED REASON.

Source notes (4)
- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: local date, investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date; the NTSB stores the UTC date 1994-11-05.
- API snapshot SHA-256: a84c8216944f8fc1f430e45e8dd4d293a6dcb2eb33905d2edb1e7c9df0a78fcb; retrieved 2026-09-21T13:32:34.481Z.
