Incident Overview
According to the pilot, the airplane was on final approach to runway 3 with the runway lights and airplane landing lights illuminated. As the pilot initiated the landing flare, a "bang" was heard from the right side of the airplane. During the landing rollout, the right wing settled onto the ground, causing the airplane to veer to the right before coming to rest on the edge of the runway.
Postaccident Examination
A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the right main landing gear had separated. This separation resulted in substantial damage to the right wing spar. The separated right main landing gear was located on the runway adjacent to a dead deer. The pilot did not report any mechanical anomalies with the airplane prior to striking the deer.
Findings
The presence of a dead deer near the separated landing gear indicates a collision with the animal occurred. No other contributing factors were identified from the available information.
