| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During the landing roll, and just prior to reaching taxi speed, the right main landing gear collapsed, resulting in minor damage to the aircraft as it came to a stop. There were no reported injuries to the pilot or passengers on board.
The ATSB found it was probable that a number of the eight mounting bolts securing the right main landing gear had loosened and wound out, placing excessive loads on the remaining bolts. The remaining bolts eventually sheared, resulting in the gear leg collapsing during landing on 24 August 2019. Although the bolts not being securely fastened would have been apparent during one or more periodic inspections, recent maintenance had not detected any problems.
