THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH TO LAND, HE NOTICED THAT THE GREEN INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. AFTER RECYCLING THE GEAR, THE LIGHT CAME ON AND HE MADE A VISUAL CHECK TO VERIFY THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS EXTENDED. AFTER LANDING, THE AIRPLANE ROLLED APPROXIMATELY 300 TO 400 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY WHEN THE NOSE GEAR, AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR, COLLAPSED. POSTACCIDENT EXAMINATION REVEALED THE NOSE WHEEL GEAR RETRACT ARM HAD FRACTURED.
