THE PRIVATE PLT & HIS INSTRUCTOR WERE PRACTICING INSTRUMENT APPROACHES. THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT THE FUEL GAGES WERE READING LOW & THE VOR NEEDLE WAS OSCILLATING, SO THEY DECIDED TO MAKE A STRAIGHT-IN LANDING. HE STATED THAT THEY LOWERED THE GEAR & FLAPS, BUT AFTER TOUCHING DOWN, THE MAIN GEAR FOLDED WITH THE NOSE GEAR LOCKED IN THE DOWN POSITION. AFTER THE ACFT WAS JACKED UP, AN OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE GEAR WAS MADE. THE LANDING GEAR & ELECTRICAL SYS OPERATED NORMALLY. THE INSTRUCTOR PLT COULD NOT DEFINITELY SAY THAT HE OBSERVED A GEAR DOWN & LOCKED INDICATION.
