- Contexto
- Both main landing gear were fully extended but were torn from their mounting structures. They were located near main wreckage. Inspection of the right main landing gear retraction mechanism showed corrosion in the threads of an attachment eyebolt. The eyebolt was pulled out of the actuator cylinder piston. The nose landing gear was fully extended and remained attached to the nose tunnel structure.
- The aircraft classification number is calculated with respect to the center of gravity (CG) position which yields the critical loading on the critical gear. Normally the aftmost CG position appropriate to the maximum gross apron (ramp) mass is used to calculate the ACN. In exceptional cases the forwardmost CG position may result in the nose gear loading being more critical.
