| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
On landing, just as the airplane touched down, the landing gear collapsed resulting in substantial damage to the airframe. The pilot reported that he lowered the landing gear after entering the downwind for the landing runway. He stated that after lowering the gear, the "down and locked" indicator light illuminated confirming the gear was down. He further stated the landing flare was normal, however the airplane continued to settle, eventually landing with the gear in the up position. Post accident evaluation of the landing gear system, to include a gear swing, revealed no anomalies that would have prevented the landing gear from fully extending to the down and locked position.
Probable Cause: Unknown malfunction of the landing gear system for undetermined reasons that resulted in a gear collapse during landing.
