Cessna 340A, N340DW

Summary:

On the approach to land with the landing gear extended, the pilot noticed that the left main gear green 鈥榙own and locked鈥� light was intermittent. He executed a missed approach and, on the downwind leg of the next approach, the pilot reported that he managed to obtain a continuous 鈥榯hree greens鈥� indication. However, on touchdown the left main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft slewed to the left through about 230潞 before coming to rest off the side of the runway.

Although a representative of the aircraft鈥檚 maintenance company has examined the aircraft, they report that they were unable to determine the reason for the failure.
