Probable Cause
The failure of the main landing gear to extend and lock for reasons that could not be determined based on the available information. Contributing to the accident was a mechanical failure of the manual landing gear release mechanism due to inadequate clearance between the release linkage and side structure and maintenance personnel’s failure to identify the interference during previous annual inspections.
