O.P.I.: System Safety
Narrative: UPDATE A11W0031: The corporate (CAR604) Piper PA31, was on a local flight at Springbank, AB (CYBW). On final approach for landing, the cockpit landing gear lights did not indicate all three wheels down and locked, and the landing was aborted. After cycling the landing gear, a fly-by was conducted, and ground personnel indicated that all wheels did not appear to be down. After further cycling, the landing gear appeared to be down; however, landing gear light indications did not change. On touchdown on runway 16, the nose gear collapsed, resulting in damage to the propellers, nose skin, and inboard main gear doors which were open. ARFF was not dispatched.
