Factual narrative
DURING THE LANDING ROLL, WITH THE NOSE WHEEL DOWN, BUT THE MAINS IN TRAIL POSITION, THE AIRCRAFT SETTLED DOWN TO THE RUNWAY RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED A NON-FUNCTIONING GEAR-DOWN HORN, AND THE LDG GEAR HYDRAULIC PUMP WAS PRODUCING INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO SECURE THE GEAR IN THE DOWN POSITION.
