## Narrative

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

(-23)DURING ROLLOUT AFTER TOUCHDOWN PILOT FELT RIGHT WING SETTLE ONTO THE RUNWAY. INVESTIGATION SHOWED A BROKEN RIGHT LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK BOLT WHICH ALLOWED BOTH SIDES OF BOLT TO BACK OUT OF DRAG LINK.  THIS OCCURANCE PRECIPITATED THE SEPARATION OF THE DRAG LINK AND ALLOWED THE COLLAPSE OF THE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY AS THE GEAR FOLDED AFT.

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.
