Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PILOT SAID HE WAS UNABLE TO GET A GREEN, GEAR SAFE, INDICATION WHILE PREPARING TO LAND. A FLY BY WAS CONDUCTED WHICH DETERMINED THAT THE MAIN GEAR WAS UNSAFE. A LANDING WAS ATTEMPTED AND DURING THE ROLL, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED. THE ACFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY AND CAREENED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED A POOR PAST MAINTENANCE HISTORY AND A CONSIDERABLE BUILD-UP OF RUST AND CORROSION ON THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTION SYSTEM.
