The aircraft was inbound to Jersey Airport. The pilot was unable to obtain a green light for the left landing gear, despite several checks and attempts to recycle the gear. He made an approach knowing that the left gear leg might not be locked down. After the aircraft touched down, the left gear leg slowly collapsed and the aircraft veered off the runway onto the grass.
The left gear leg failed to lock down prior to landing and slowly collapsed during the landing roll, causing the aircraft to veer off the runway. The gear extension rod for the left gear leg was subsequently found to have failed in compression, but the reason for the failure was not evident.
Damage sustained: Damage to left wing and landing gear
