Read the full NTSB narrative

During the landing approach, the pilot noted that the right main landing gear would not extend into the down and locked position, and, during touchdown, the gear began to collapse. He performed a go-around, climbed to altitude, and attempted emergency procedures and gloading maneuvers but was unable to extend the right main landing gear into the down and locked position. Ultimately, the pilot chose to land with the landing gear retracted. During recovery of the airplane from the runway, maintenance personnel were unable to extend and lock the right main landing gear, but they were able to extend and lock the nose and left main landing gears into position. The right main landing gear was manually extended and braced, then towed to the ramp. The pilot/operator of the aircraft reported that the damage to the aircraft was substantial. A complete examination of the right main landing gear was not performed; therefore, the reason for the right main landing gear anomaly could not be determined.
