| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
After completion of a touch and go landing, it was likely that the landing gear was inadvertently retracted and the aircraft settled back onto the runway. The left and right main landing gear push rods, the landing gear mounting brackets and the landing gear motor mounting brackets were damaged at that time and both propellers struck the runway surface. The instructor took control of the aircraft and the landing gear was selected up, however the gear intransit light remained illuminated. An observation confirmed the landing gear was hanging about 45 degrees. During the emergency landing gear lowering procedures, the circuit breaker for the landing gear motor had popped. An emergency landing was conducted on the grass strip parallel to the runway, and both main landing gear collapsed on touchdown.
