The NTSB's narrative final · quoted from the NTSB record

The right main landing gear door was found restricted against the fuselage wheel well body fairing.  During a test gear swing following the incident, the door jammed again.  According to the manufacturer, if improperly positioned, the door seal could wear and eventually cause the door to become jammed against the fairing and prevent extension of the main landing gear.

About this page

Everything above comes from the NTSB's public accident database: the narrative, probable cause and findings are the NTSB's own words, and the coded tables behind its report (pilot, aircraft, flight, weather, injuries, sequence of events) are written out in plain English. Pilots' ages, home towns and medical details are left out on purpose. The documents and photographs are the NTSB's docket, the folder of records gathered during the investigation, shown as the NTSB released them (the NTSB redacts some personal details first) and listed under the NTSB's own titles. This site's own text never names pilots, passengers or anyone else involved. A preliminary report describes what is known soon after the event and can change; the final report, with the probable cause, usually follows one to two years later and this page is refreshed when it does. Case number ENG10IA053.
