"23 Jul 2021
Piper PA-28R-200-2
G-FULL
London Southend Airport, Essex
During the downwind checks the student confirmed the three green landing gear lights were illuminated. They were checked again on final approach and the instructor made another check just prior to touchdown. During the touchdown, which was described as smooth, the left main landing gear collapsed, the wingtip contacted the ground and the nose landing gear subsequently collapsed. The right main landing gear remained locked down and the aircraft came to rest at the side of the runway. The mechanical and electrical systems were tested but no fault could be found and the cause of the failure was not determined".
