WHEN THE PLT ARRIVED AT HIS DESTINATION, HE WAS UNABLE TO FULLY EXTEND THE GEAR. HE DIVERTED TO VISALIA, CA. AFTER REDUCING THE FUEL LOAD, HE MADE AN INTENTIONAL, POWER-OFF, WHEELS-UP LANDING. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT NOSE GEAR BELLCRANK ASSY HAD CAUGHT ON THE EDGE OF A BOX PLATE AS THE GEAR WAS BEING EXTENDED. SINCE ALL 3 GEAR WORKED TOGETHER, THIS ALSO PREVENTED THE MAIN GEAR FROM FULLY EXTENDING.
