Accident Overview
A landing gear collapse occurred during the landing roll of an airplane. The right main landing gear failed, causing the aircraft to veer off the right side of the runway and strike multiple taxiway and runway lights.
Approach and Landing
The pilot, who had accumulated 1,400 flight hours, reported that during the approach, the nose wheel position indication light was not illuminated when the landing gear position indication lights were tested. After performing a low approach to the runway, the tower advised the pilot that all wheels appeared to be extended. Subsequently, as the nose wheel landing gear touched down on the runway, the right main landing gear collapsed, and the right wing struck the ground.
Inspection Findings
Post-accident inspection of the airplane revealed that the clevis bolt had separated from the actuator rod on the right main landing gear assembly.
