Probable cause

The failure of the landing gear to extend for undetermined reasons.

NTSB narrative

Prior to landing, the pilot attempted to lower the landing gear with the gear switch in the cockpit. The "gear would not extend down with [the] switch, therefore, I used the hand pump and it extended down 25 percent were it stopped." The pilot contacted a mechanic via cell phone and the mechanic advised him the problem could not be fixed while flying. The pilot landed the airplane with the landing gear partially retracted. A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the airplane and landing gear system. No anomalies were noted with the landing gear system. The reason for the occurrence was not determined.
