## Narrative

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

(-23) MICHAEL WILLIAMSON, PILOT OF N98635, OPERATED A CESSNA 402B ON A CARGO FLIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT HAD BEEN LOADED AND TAXIED FOR DEPARTURE ON RUNWAY 16 AT LAKEVIEW, OR. THE PILOT BACK TAXIED TO THE DEPARTURE END OF RUNWAY 16. HE INITIATED A 180 DEGREE TURN ON THE RUNWAY IN PREPARATION FOR TAKEOFF WHEN THE LEFT GEAR COLLAPSED. INVESTIGATION INTO THE ACCIDENT REVEALED THAT THE ROLLER PIN SHEARED OFF ALLOWING THE TRUNNION PIN TO BACK OUT. AS A RESULT, THE GEAR COLLAPSED.
