Narrative:THE PILOT OF THE CARGO AIRPLANE STATED THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED DURING TOUCHDOWN AND WHEN THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN A SECOND TIME, THE MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PILOT STATED HE OBSERVED THE LEFT LANDING GEAR EXTENDING AND THE GREEN GEAR DOWNLIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN HE LOWERED THE GEAR DURING THE APPROACH. DURING THE ON-SCENE INVESTIGATION THE LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED AND EXTENDED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANOMOLIES. THE LANDING GEAR DOWNLOCKS WERE INSPECTED FOR WEAR AND NONE WAS NOTED. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TIRE TRACKS LEFT ON THE RUNWAY INDICATE THE GEAR WAS IN THE TRAIL POSITION. ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S MAINTENCE MANUAL, ALL THREE LANDING GEAR LEGS MUST BE DOWN AND LOCKED BEFORE A GREEN GEAR DOWN LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE.
