During approach to Cooinda, the pilot selected the landing gear down but was unable to obtain a down indication for the left landing gear. After several unsuccessful attempts to obtain the indication, the pilot diverted to Jabiru where company ground staff were available. Several low passes were made to enable ground staff to confirm the position of the landing gear, which appeared to be extended and the pilot elected to land. Upon touchdown, the left landing gear collapsed. Subsequent investigation revealed that the left extension/retraction mechanism torque tube rod attachment had failed due to fatigue.
