Probable cause
The disconnection of the nose landing gear actuator, which resulted in the subsequent collapse of the nose landing gear. Contributing to the accident was the repair station’s inadequate maintenance, postmaintenance inspection process, and oversight of the maintenance performed and the lack of communication between the repair station personnel, the operator, and the testing technician.
