DURING LANDING, THE PILOT PUT THE LANDING GEAR AND FLAP HANDLES IN THE DOWN POSITIONS. HE HEARD NOISES THAT SOUNDED LIKE BOTH HAD EXTENDED AND ASSUMED EVERYTHING WAS IN PLACE. THE PILOT WAS UNAWARE THAT THE LANDING GEAR WAS NOT DOWN UNTIL AFTER TOUCHDOWN. AN EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND BY NORMAL MEANS, BUT HAD TO BE STARTED WITH THE EMERGENCY CRANK. LATER, THE LANDING GEAR RETRACT MOTOR WAS FOUND TO BE BURNED OUT. ALSO, THE LANDING GEAR RETRACT RODS WERE BENT.
