Probable cause
The failure of maintenance personnel to mask the gear locking pins prior to painting the airplane which resulted in the right main gear locking pin jamming in the unlocked position due to contamination with paint. A factor was the failure of maintenance personnel to mask the power brake valve pistons prior to painting which resulted in the left power brake valve jamming in the emergency (power off) position due to contamination with paint.
