Upon landing at Wapenamanda Airport while on a cargo flight from Madang, the right main gear collapsed. The airplane went out of control, veered off runway and came to rest. Both crew members were unhurt while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. Probable cause (official findings): Failure of the right main gear on landing due to a fractured trunnion at the rear of the undercarriage strut.
