NTSB narrative
WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND. DURING THIS PROCESS THE AIRCRAFT GENERATOR WENT OFF THE LINE. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY LOWER THE LANDING GEAR AND EXTENDED THE NOSE GEAR EXTENDED AND THE LEFT MAIN GEAR EXTENDED, BUT THE RIGHT GEAR STILL DID NOT EXTEND. THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT AND THE AIRCRAFT SLID OFF THE RUNWAY AND WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. POST ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR REVEALED THAT IT WAS CRACKED IN FATIGUE. THIS ALLOWED THE HYDRAULIC FLUID TO BE PUMPED OVERBOARD AND CAUSED THE ACTUATOR TO NOT EXTEND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR.

- 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 1985-11-19.
