This summary draws on records from the Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Archives (B3A); 8 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
An aircraft experienced a landing gear collapse upon touchdown, resulting in the aircraft coming to a halt on the runway with no injuries reported.
What happened
During the final phase of flight, the aircraft experienced a mechanical failure involving its landing gear. As the plane made contact with the ground, the undercarriage collapsed, preventing a standard rollout.
Following the loss of structural support from the gear, the aircraft slid along the surface before eventually coming to a complete stop. Despite the impact and the subsequent stoppage, there were no reported fatalities or injuries among the occupants.
Findings
The primary factor in the incident was the failure of the undercarriage during the landing sequence.
Probable cause
The collapse of the aircraft's undercarriage upon touchdown.
