Probable cause
The probable cause of the incident was the restriction of the right main landing gear door against the fuselage wheel well body fairing which prevented the extension of the right main landing gear.
NTSB analysis
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.
