What happened
During daylight operations under visual meteorological conditions, the flight crew established visual contact with the runway at BGGH. In an effort to align with runway 23, the crew elected to deviate to the right of the offset localizer. The aircraft proceeded toward the runway while positioned to the right of the extended centerline.
As the aircraft type approached the landing threshold, it was still executing a final turn to the left. The aircraft made contact with runway 23 between the threshold and the touchdown zone, landing to the left of the runway centerline. Upon touchdown, the right main landing gear shock strut fuse pin sheared, which caused the right main landing gear to collapse. This mechanical failure resulted in the aircraft skidding down the runway and eventually departing the paved surface to the right. There were no injuries reported among the passengers or crew, though the aircraft sustained substantial damage.
Findings
- The primary factor in the gear failure was the shearing of the right main landing gear shock strut fuse pin during the landing sequence.
