Unfortunately true Ben - u/c down but not locked & so
it collapsed on landing. The DG1000 undercarriage
operation is difficult from the back seat and there is
no detent, so you have to confirm it is locked by
rotating the airbrake lever out to get the voice
warning (and hope it works) - a procedure that was not
followed in this instance. A surprisingly poor piece
of engineering in an otherwise magnificent aircraft.
