The pilot was cleared to land and he placed the landing gear handle in the DOWN position. According to the pilot, the landing gear collapsed on touch down. The pilot said the landing gear warning horn never sounded. He further stated that on the previous flight, he had to cycle the flaps several times to get them to extend, and after landing, he could not retract the flaps. A post accident examination revealed the landing gear doors were closed and bore no damage. With the airplane on jacks and an external hydraulic power unit connected to the hydraulic system, the landing gear was cycled up and down 20 times with no faults detected.
