When landing gear was selected down during the approach to Umeå airport no indication was received that the left mail landing gear was down and locked. After some low passes it was confirmed, with help from ground observations, that the left landing gear was only half open and hanged out in an angle of approximately 45° from the underside of the wing. In spite of repeated efforts from the pilots, including emergency gear extension procedures, the situation remained unchanged. The commander decided to perform an emergency landing on the snow covered strip to the right of the runway. The landing was done with gear up and full flaps. After an initially straight sliding in the snow, the aircraft veered to the left and came to final stop a few meters from the asphalt edge of the runway.
At the inspection it was established that the landing gear door had fatigue damages and had broken when the gear was extended. The actuating rod in the hydraulic cylinder that manoeuvres the gear door then got stuck in a position between half open and closed, blocking the landing gear from being extended.
