## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: ON TAXI FROM RAMP TO DEPARTURE RUNWAY, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR PARTIALLY COLLAPSED. THERE WAS NO PROP STRIKE OR WING DAMAGE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAKEN TO THE HANGAR WHERE IT WAS PUT ON JACKS. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE SHAFT THAT THE LANDING GEAR PIVOTED ON HAD BROKEN AT THE FORWARD ATTACHMENT POINT. ALL APPEARANCES SHOW THAT THE REAR ATTACHMENT POINT ON THE SHAFT HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR SOMETIME. THE REPAIR STATION WILL SUBMIT A MALFUNCTION/DEFECT REPORT ON THE FAILED PART.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
