| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot heard a snapping sound during the landing gear retraction and confirmed that the landing gear had not fully retracted. The aircraft was diverted to Bankstown, where it subsequently made an emergency landing, during which the nose gear collapsed. A post-flight investigation determined that the nose gear actuating rod had failed due to fatigue cracking. The fatigue had initiated from a pre-existing crack. It is likely that the original crack had originated from a previous nose gear collapse in October 1993 when the aircraft had collided with a kangaroo.
