Registration: N36458
Aircraft: PIPER PA 28R-201
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Sys/Comp malf/fail (non-power)
Injuries: 2 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Instructional
On April 9, 2017, about 1015 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28R-201 airplane, N36458, experienced a landing gear collapse at the Oakland County International Airport (KPTK), Pontiac, Michigan. The pilot and passenger were not injured, and the airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to IXI LLC and operated by a private individual under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which operated without a flight plan.
While conducting touch and go landings, the pilot landed the airplane for the third time when the right main landing gear and nose landing gear collapsed. The right wing was partially separated from the airplane resulting in substantial damage. Postaccident examination of the airplane by the responding Federal Aviation Administration inspector found an unused instrument lamp socket was improperly secured during recent maintenance allowing it to short the landing gear controls. The landing gear control circuit breaker was tripped, stopping the landing gear from transitioning to the down position and the landing gear indicators and warnings became inoperative. No other anomalies were found with the airplane.

A pilot of a small airplane is going to be okay after a rough landing at Oakland County International Airport on Monday.
Around 3:30 Monday afternoon, the single-engine plane came in for a rough landing. It had spent the previous two and half hours circling the airport.
According the airport, the plane's pilot was unable to get the landing gear locked down when they tried to initially land. The pilot aborted that landing attempt and then tried to remedy the problem while circling overhead.
SkyFox was near the airport and captured video of the plane landing. When it came in for the landing, the front landing gear collapsed and the plane skidded to a stop.
The pilot escaped the plane quickly and was not injured.
The plane is a 1978 Piper PA-28 Cherokee and is registered to IXI LLC.

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) - A small plane has made a daring emergency landing at the Oakland County International Airport.
The plane began having problems with its front landing gear shortly before noon.
After circling for hours, it finally came in a short time ago.
As it came in, you could see the pilot trying to keep the weight of the plane on the back landing gears.
As soon as the front wheel hit the ground, it folded underneath the aircraft.
Once the plane came to a stop, two people quickly hopped out, in case it caught fire.
Fortunately, everyone appears to be okay.
We're told the plane is part of a flight school that flies out of Oakland County Airport.
