In our review of the 100 most recent Cessna 310 NTSB accident reports, landing gear problems led the list. There were 25 reported gear-related events, 20 of which were collapses. There were probably more because gear-up landings arent always reported-they almost never cause enough damage to meet the NTSB definition of a reportable accident.
If the Cessna 310 has an identifiable shortcoming that causes scraped-up airplanes, its the gear. The electromechanical landing gear system is as reliable as dirt. However, it absolutely requires that maintenance be done correctly and that worn components be replaced.
