| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During the airplane's approach to land, the pilot extended the landing gear. However, the pilot did not confirm that the landing gear position indicator light was illuminated, and he did not visually check to ensure that the landing gear was down and locked. The main landing gear collapsed shortly after the airplane touched down. Postincident examination of the airplane revealed that the landing gear pump circuit breaker had tripped. When the circuit breaker was reset, the landing gear was successfully cycled. According to the airplane flight manual, pilots can ensure that the landing gear is fully extended by checking that the green landing gear position indicator light is illuminated and visually checking the landing gear position.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to follow proper procedures to confirm that the main landing gear was down and locked before landing.
