Accident · substantial damage
Jul 25, 2017 · Byron, CA
The pilot’s failure to activate the hydraulic system during the approach, and his failure to ensure that the landing gear was down and locked before touchdown. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's decision to operate the airplane with an inoperative landing gear position indicator light.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
