Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during a landing on runway 11, the right main landing gear assembly separated from the aircraft. The pilot stated that the wind was from 010 degrees at 18 knots, gusting to 27 knots. To maintain directional control on the runway, the pilot applied what he described as 'screeching' right brake. Subsequently, the right main landing gear assembly detached.
Sequence of Events
After the landing gear separated, the airplane settled onto its right wing as it turned left into the wind. The aircraft came to rest in that position. No other details about the flight or post-landing actions were provided.
Postaccident Examination
A postaccident examination of the wheel assembly conducted by the pilot revealed that all four attachment bolts for the right main landing gear wheel assembly had sheared. The cause of the bolt shearing was not determined from the examination alone.
Findings
The investigation did not include any analysis of contributing factors or causal links. The only stated facts are the wind conditions, the pilot's brake application, the gear separation, the aircraft's behavior, and the condition of the bolts.
