Probable cause
The excessive clearance between the shuttle valve and the shuttle bore in the end cap of the left main landing gear actuator for undetermined reasons either during overhaul or manufacturing resulting in failure to build hydraulic pressure using the emergency hand pump. A finding in the investigation was the failure of the airplane manufacturer to identify procedures in the maintenance manual that would detect the above listed condition during check of the emergency hand pump.

Flight-crew details for this event aren't in the NTSB database extract we hold (its coverage starts with 2008 events) — a gap in our data, not an absence of crew.
Facts as the NTSB records them — GroundCheck adds no judgement. Preliminary records may be revised as the investigation proceeds.
