| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot said that he extended the airplane’s landing gear in preparation to land but did not confirm if the gear was down and locked. As such, he was not aware that the landing gear did not extend due to a failure of the system’s hydraulic filter. The pilot landed gear up, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage. The pilot said that when the airplane was recovered from the runway, recovery personnel were able to lift the airplane and extend the landing gear using the emergency gear hand pump.
Probable Cause: A failure of a hydraulic filter, which preluded normal extension of the landing gear. Also causal was the pilot’s failure to confirm that he landing gear was extended before landing, which resulted in a gear up landing.
