Incident Overview
A private certificated pilot was conducting a landing on runway 07 with a left crosswind. According to the pilot, the windsock indicated a wind direction perpendicular to the runway, standing straight out. During the landing roll, the right main landing gear collapsed, resulting in the right wing and right elevator contacting the runway surface.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that the wind conditions were from the north at approximately 12 knots. The windsock was observed to be fully extended at a 90-degree angle to the runway, indicating strong crosswind conditions.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained damage to the right wing and the right main landing gear. No other damage was reported.
Possible Contributing Factors
The investigation did not identify a probable cause for the landing gear collapse. The pilot's account and the observed wind conditions suggest a crosswind component may have been a factor, but no definitive cause was established.
Safety Information
No further details were provided regarding the aircraft type, registration, engine count, date, operator, location, occupants, injuries, or time of day. The incident highlights the challenges of crosswind landings, though no specific recommendations or lessons were offered.
