Incident Overview
During the landing ground roll, the pilot reported applying brakes when the aircraft began pulling to the left. Despite the pilot's application of full right rudder and right brake, directional control could not be maintained. The aircraft began to slide, and the right main landing gear subsequently collapsed.
Post-Accident Examination
An FAA airworthiness inspector examined the aircraft. No unusual heat signatures were found on the brake disks, nor was there any evidence of a brake system malfunction. Both main tires exhibited no flat spots, but all three tires showed evidence of skid abrasion oriented 90 degrees to the tread. Abrasion marks oriented 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis were observed under the right wing.
Structural Damage
The right main landing gear assembly was collapsed. The extend/retract rod end was broken, and the associated support bracket was ripped out of the forward spar. The nose gear strut was found bent approximately 15 degrees to the left.
Control System Continuity
Complete continuity was established between the cockpit rudder pedals and the nose gear steering collar, indicating that the steering linkage remained intact throughout the event.
