Narrative:On October 10, 2022, about 1645 mountain standard time, a Cessna T210L, N2425S, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Marana, Arizona. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that this was the airplanes first flight after an engine overhaul and airframe annual inspection.
The pilot reported that he planned a maintenance check flight, and after a normal takeoff, he retracted the landing gear. Shortly after, while on the downwind leg of the airport traffic pattern, he noted that the landing gear position indicator lights were not illuminated. The pilot cycled the landing gear lever, but the position indicator lights remained unchanged and did not illuminate. Using the mirrors affixed to the airframe, the pilot was able to verify that the nose landing gear appeared extended, however, the left main gear door was open and appeared abnormal.
The pilot subsequently utilized the emergency hand pump to extend the landing gear but asserted that he felt no resistance or hydraulic pressure develop when the pump was actuated. The pilot then made a low pass over the runway and ground personnel confirmed that the nose landing gear was extended, however, the left and right mains were not.
The pilot remained airborne for about 50 minutes to burn off fuel before landing. The pilot subsequently made a successful nose gear landing on runway 03. As the aircraft slowed the rear of the fuselage settled to the runway, however, due to the lack of support by the loose left main gear door the aircraft leaned to the left and exited the runway, causing damage to the left horizontal stabilizer. There was no damage to the prop or the engine. Post accident inspection showed the left main gear door actuator failed and all hydraulic fluid exited the aircraft.
