Accident Overview
The certificated airline pilot and flight instructor, serving as pilot-in-command (PIC), was demonstrating a single-engine landing to a certificated private pilot receiving dual instruction. The airplane sustained damage when the right wing settled during the landing roll, after the PIC attempted to correct a drift.
Sequence of Events
During the landing roll, the airplane began to drift to the right. The PIC responded by increasing power on the right engine and applying left rudder. Subsequently, the right wing began to settle toward the ground. The pilot then shut down both engines.
Damage and Inspection
The airplane received damage to the right main landing gear, flaps, and propeller. An inspection revealed that the right gear strut was broken at an inspection hole that had been provided by the manufacturer. The gear strut had been the subject of a manufacturer's service bulletin and a subsequent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) airworthiness directive. Both documents required an inspection for cracks.
Maintenance Background
According to the investigation, maintenance personnel had received the service bulletin but had not scheduled the required inspection at the time of the accident.
