N37127

On June 06, 2009, a Cessna 404 (N37127) was involved in an incident near Englewood, CO. All 1 person aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The failure of the landing gear to extend due to the failure of a hydraulic line.

While en route, the airplane's left and right hydraulic system failure lights illuminated. The pilot diverted to an alternate airport. The pilot was unable to extend the landing gear using the normal system. The pilot tried the emergency system but the gear still would not extend. The pilot was forced to land with the airplane's wheels up after diverting to an alternate airport. The airplane's keel sustained substantial damage during the landing. An examination of the airplane showed that a hydraulic line had failed downstream of the left and right hydraulic pumps and the emergency landing gear extension air bottle, making gear extension impossible.

This incident is documented in NTSB report CEN09CA343. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N37127.
