Sunriver Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Sunriver, Oregon 97479
Wednesday, August 30, 1995 16:00 PDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

During the landing roll of a full-stop landing, all three of the aircraft's gear collapsed. It was later determined that the hydraulic pump drive motor had failed during the extension process. Although all three green gear-down indicator lights illuminated when the gear was extended, without the pump continuing to operate during the entire extension process, the gear did not reach the full down position, and the gear down-locks were not activated.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The failure of the landing gear hydraulic drive motor.
