Accident Summary
An airline transport certificated pilot was conducting a non-scheduled, domestic cargo flight under Title 14, CFR Part 135. During the landing roll, the right main landing gear collapsed, causing the airplane to exit the right side of the runway. The pilot reported the incident.
Investigation Findings
An FAA air safety inspector visited and photographed the site. According to the inspector, the airplane landed hard on the gravel runway threshold, became airborne again, and touched down about 300 feet down the runway. The inspector photographed main landing gear impact marks on the runway threshold. The marks were several inches deep, 3-6 feet in length, and had gravel sprayed forward and to each side of the track. Tracks then began again about 300 feet down the runway before veering sharply off the right side and terminating at the wreckage. The inspector provided a hand-drawn sketch of the marks with approximate distances.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained damage to the landing gear attaching points, right wing, and fuselage.
