## Narrative

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

(-23)THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED EUFAULA, ALABAMA (EUF) FOR A PART 91 FLIGHT. DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL AT VR THE PILOTS FELT A PULL TO THE RIGHT AS IF A TIRE HAD BLOWN.  THE TAKEOFF WAS CONTINUED SUCCESSFULLY.  AS THE LANDING GEAR WAS RETRACTED IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR RETRACTED NORMALLY, WHILE THE LEFT MAIN GEAR AND NOSE GEAR WERE DELAYED APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 15 SECONDS BEFORE RETRACTING.  THE PILOTS DETERMINED THAT THEY NEEDED TO BURN OFF APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS OF FUEL BEFORE LANDING SO THEY ELECTED TO FLY THE AIRCRAFT TO GREENSBORO, NC, WHERE THE LAST MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AND BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT DURING LANDING. THE PILOTS MAINTAINED DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT STRAIGHT AHEAD ON THE RUNWAY.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED A COLLAPSED RIGHT MAIN GEAR STRUT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED FROM THE RUNWAY TO THE MAINTENANCE FACILITY.  BOTH STRUTS HAD BEEN REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THIS OCCURRENCE.

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.
