| Nature: | Private |
| Departure airport: | Bartow, FL |
| Greenville Downtown Airport, SC (GMU/KGMU) | |
| Investigating agency: | NTSB |
| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that, after takeoff, he was receiving abnormal oil temperature, pressure, and voltage indications, and he decided to return to the departure airport. During landing, the main landing gear collapsed, resulting in substantial damage. Examination of the airplane revealed that the left main landing gear down-and-lock actuator was leaking hydraulic fluid, and the hydraulic fluid reservoir was empty. The reservoir was filled, and the landing gear retracted and extended normally during a subsequent test. Given this information, it is likely that there was inadequate hydraulic fluid available to fully extend and lock the main landing gear, which resulted in the subsequent main landing gear collapse.
Probable Cause: A leaking left main landing gear down lock actuator, which resulted in a loss of hydraulic fluid and a subsequent landing gear collapse during landing.
