Incident Overview
The pilot of the airplane reported that during the initial landing, the aircraft touched down hard. After the landing, the pilot taxied the airplane without any further issues. However, during the subsequent takeoff ground roll, the right main landing gear collapsed. The collapse resulted in substantial damage to the right wing and the right side elevator, which contacted the runway surface.
Landing Gear Examination
A subsequent inspection of the failed landing gear revealed that the failure occurred at a weld point. The pilot indicated that the total time on the part was 1,569 hours. No other information regarding the specific type of aircraft, registration, location, or weather conditions was provided in the source.
Sequence of Events
The incident began with a hard landing, after which the pilot taxied normally. The collapse happened during the takeoff roll, suggesting that the hard landing may have compromised the structural integrity of the landing gear, though the source does not explicitly state a causal link. The damage was limited to the right wing and elevator, and the aircraft was not further operated after the collapse.
