Hollywood North Perry Airport
Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Hollywood, Florida 33022
Tuesady, February 8, 2005 10:30 EST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot/mechanic re-rigged the airplane's retractable landing gear, and after performing retraction tests on the ground, he took the airplane for a test flight. Upon returning to the airport the right main gear would not indicate down and locked, even after an additional manual retraction and extension. The pilot flew by the air traffic control tower, where a controller observed that the gear was down but could not confirm it was locked in place. During the landing roll, the right main landing gear collapsed, damaging the right aileron. An inspection of the landing gear revealed a fractured locking link end fitting in the retraction/extension system.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The failure of the right main landing gear locking mechanism during the landing roll, which resulted in the collapse of the right main landing gear.
