AFTER LANDING AND ROLL OUT THE PILOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE TOWER TO CONTACT GROUND CONTROL AFTER HE CLEARS THE RUNWAY. WHEN THE PILOT PRESSED THE LEFT RUDDER TO ANGLE ONTO THE HIGH SPEED TAXIWAY, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, AIRCRAFT TURNED 90 DEGREES AS IT CAME TO A STOP. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE RH MAIN LANDING GEAR BELLCRANK, P/N 0841225-10, ATTACHMENT BOLT SHEARED CAUSING THE DOWNLOCK LINK ASSEMBLY TO FOLD.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
