FURTHER INVESTIGAITION REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR, DOWN LOCK SWIVEL, SHEARED ON THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. THIS CAUSED THE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID AS REPORTED BY ^PRIVACY DA^ CHQA QUALITY ASSURANCE MANAGER. THIS SWIVEL WAS REPLACED AND A/C WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO PASSENGERS. AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO GATE. SUBMISSION OF THIS REPORT CLOSES THIS INCIDENT.

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.
