Overview
An accident occurred during a landing on runway 8 when the airplane encountered a gust of wind. The pilot's written statement described the sequence of events, and an examination by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector found no mechanical anomalies.
Pilot's Account
According to the pilot's written statement, the airplane was landing on runway 8 when it encountered a gust of wind. The pilot made a correction for the gust, which caused the airplane to become airborne again. When the airplane subsequently touched down, it began to rotate to the left. The right main landing gear then collapsed, and the right wing impacted the ground. As a result, the right wing spar sustained substantial damage.
Investigation Findings
An FAA inspector examined the airplane and its related systems. The inspection revealed no anomalies. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airplane at the time of the accident.
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the right wing spar. No other damage items were specified.
Conclusion
The accident sequence involved a gust of wind during landing, a subsequent go-around or bounce, and a left rotation leading to right main landing gear collapse and right wing ground impact. No mechanical issues were found.
