Left Main Gear Collapse at Le Bourget Airport (7T-WHA)

Incident Overview and Damage Report During its landing approach on runway 07 at Le Bourget Airport, the affected aircraft suffered a mechanical failure involving the left main landing gear, which collapsed on touchdown. As a direct consequence of the structural failure, the airframe deviated from the intended runway path, veering to the left side before finally coming to a complete stop off the paved surface. Assessments of the airframe following the incident indicated that it sustained damage beyond the point of practical repair, resulting in the official withdrawal of the aircraft from active service. ## Passenger Safety and Official Determinations In the aftermath of the runway excursion, all nine individuals onboard successfully evacuated from the damaged fuselage without sustaining injuries. A formal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the event was conducted to determine the precise origin of the mechanical failure. Based on the collected evidence, the official findings established that the primary cause of the incident was the unanticipated collapse of the left main gear system upon landing. Investigators were unable to determine the specific underlying reason for this structural collapse, and no further definitive cause was identified beyond the mechanical failure itself.
