The right maingear failed to lock down prior to landing. The gear was recycled several
times and a 'bogie test' was tried. The gear then indicated down and locked. After
touchdown the aircraft tended to veer to the right and the right maingear slowly
collapsed. The right wing struck the ground, causing the Canadair plane to veer right off
the side of the runway. The left gear and nosegear immediately sank in soft ground next to
the runway; the aircraft thus came to rest with the tail and part of the left wing still
on the runway. Lack of aircraft recovery equipment at Carvasco made it impossible to
remove the aircraft from the runway. Engines, instruments and other equipment were removed
and the tail and nose were cut off. The remainder was then set alight. The aircraft was
deliberately destroyed in an attempt to clear the runway. It was therefor not possible to
ascertain the cause of the accident. |
