## Narrative

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

RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED DURING LANDING ROLL-OUT ON RUNWAY 02. AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED ONLY VERY MINOR, NEGLIGIBLE DAMAGE, LIMITED TO THE CABIN STEP, TAIL SKID AND FORWARD LOWER CORNER OF RIGHT MAIN GEAR DOOR.  THE AIRCRAFT HAD NEARLY STOPPED, AT TEH TIME OF INCIDENT, AND CAME TO REST NOSE-HIGH, ON THE CABIN STEP AND TAIL SKID.  THE PROPELLER DID NOT CONTACT THE PAVEMENT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^                                THE AIRCRAFT HAD TAKEN OFF IN ICY/SLUSHY CONDITIONS, FROM DETROIT, AND BASED ON THE THAT THE ONLY DAMAGED PART FOUND WAS THE PUSH ROD FROM THE ACTUATOR WALKING BEAM TO THE RIGHT GEAR (ROD WAS BENT UP), ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^                            THEREFORE CAUSING THE ROD TO BEND, BEFORE THE WHEEL POPPED OUT OF THE WELL, NEVER QUITE LOCING DOWN.  HOWEVER, TEH GEAR WOULD STILL INDICATE "DOWN-AND-LOCKED", BECAUSE THE SINGLE DOWNLOCK INDICATION SWITCH IS ACTUATED BT THE LEFT MAIN PUCK ROD, AND THE LEFT MAIN INDEED LOCKED DOWN.
