What happened
During an arrival at Wollaston Lake Airport, an aircraft experienced a structural failure of its landing gear. As the plane was touching down on the airport's gravel runway, the left main landing gear collapsed under the weight of the aircraft.
Following the collapse, the aircraft veered and settled onto its left wing. The impact with the ground caused significant damage to the airframe, rendering the plane a total loss. Despite the severity of the mechanical failure, there were no injuries reported among the occupants. Both the pilot and the crew managed to exit the wreckage safely.
Findings
Investigations into the incident focused on the sudden failure of the landing gear assembly during the landing phase. The primary contributing factor was the failure of the left main gear upon contact with the runway surface, though the specific underlying reason for this mechanical breakdown remains undetermined.
