## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED RUNWAY 36 AT DAYTON ON A NON-REVENUE FLIGHT TO THE HOME BASE AT MWO. ON TAKE OFF, AT ROTATION, BOTH LEFT MAIN GEAR WHEELS AND STRUT DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THIS WAS OBSERVED BY PERSONNEL ON THE GROUND AND RELAYED TO THE PIC OF N710TV. HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR INDICATION SYSTEM ON RETRACTION. FUEL WAS BURNED OFF AND THE PIC ELECTED TO LOAD AT FFO (W.P.A.F.B.). A GEAR UP LANDING WAS MADE ON RUNWAY 5, WHICH WAS COVERED WITH SNOW. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINIMAL DAMAGE. ACCORDING TO THE P.I.C., JUST PRIOR TO LIFT OFF AT DAY, HE FELT SEVERE ROUGHNESS IN THE GEAR AND THOUGHT HE ENCOUNTERED ICE RIDGES ON THE RUNWAY. THE INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED THAT THE SNAP RING GROOVE ON THE LOWER GEAR STRUT HAD FAILED, WHICH ALLOWED THE STRUT OLEO AND WHEELS TO DROP DOWN, SHEARING THE GEAR SCISSORS AND FRACTURING THE BRAKE LINES. AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE, THERE WAS SNOW AND ICE ON THE RUNWAY. THERE WAS INDICATION THAT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR HAD ALSO BEEN SUBJECTED TO SEVERE ROUGHNESS AND POUNDING. RUNWAYS WERE BEING PLOWED, SOME AREAS CONTAINED ICE AND RIDGES OF ICE WHICH CAUSED EXTREME ROUGHNESS. A LARGER AIRCRAFT WITH LARGER WHEELS WOULD NOT HAVE INCURRED THE SAME TYPE OF DAMAGE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
