What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)After elveling the acft @ 3000 ft following a t/o, pilot noticed that the landing gear selector was not in the correct position following the landing gear retraction (also a yaw to the right). Landing gear was recycled several times with only (2) green lts (LH main & nose) indication. Emergency gear extension was used then with the same results. After several low passes to verify with ground personnel gear position (appreas to them that it was locked), pilot landed the acft on rwy 5. Shortly after touchdown the acft veered to the right (no brakes applied), came off the rwy, RH MLG collapsed and came to a stop. Damage to the RH side prop, flap and MLG inboard door was sustained. Investigation reveals that the rod end (p/n 762554) of the hyd actuator (wiebel, model 2115-1, p/n 451 825) failed after unlocking the RH gear on retraction at a point in which gear would not fall back inot a lock position.
