## Narrative

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

(-5) PILOT LANDED AT APC WITH THREE GREEN GEAR SAFE INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. AS MAIN GEAR TOUCHED DOWN, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR UNSAFE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A SHORT ROLL OUT, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED. INSPECTION FOUND THE SIDE BRACE LOCK LINK END FITTING ASSEMBLY FAILED IN THE THREADED AREA AT THE JAM NUT. CLOSER INSPECTION OF FAILED PART SHOWED SIGNS THAT THE PART WAS CRACKED OR BROKEN IN THE THREADED AREA FOR SOME TIME. PUSH-PULL TUBE (P/N: 0840125-15) FAILED ALSO IN THE COLLAPSE OF THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR 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.
