Narrative:On 27 March 2013, a Raytheon B200, registered VH-ZCO, was being operated on an aero-medical flight from Darwin to Port Keats, Northern Territory. On board the aircraft were the pilot and two flight nurses.
In preparation for landing at Port Keats the pilot selected the gear down. The left and right main landing gear down indication lights did not illuminate, while the nose landing gear down indication light (green) illuminated. The pilot elected to return to Darwin and advised air traffic control.
The pilot reported that on landing, the right main landing gear wheel touched down first and when the left landing gear wheel touched down the pilot felt the left side of the aircraft start to sink. The pilot shut down the left engine and feathered the left propeller, then shut down the right engine and feathered the right propeller. The left wing then contacted the runway and the aircraft skidded to a stop, at about 1551. The pilot and flight nurses evacuated the aircraft via the overwing exit. The aircraft sustained minor damage, while the pilot and flight nurses were not injured.
