## Narrative

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

(-23)  PILOT STATED THAT AFTER MAKING AN UNEVENTFUL LOCAL FLIGHT, HE ENTERED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN ON DOWNWIND FOR RWY 14 AT KBLM AND LOWERED THE LANDING GEAR.  HE STATED THAT HE OBSERVED BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT GEAR DOWN GEAR LIGHTS AND OBSERVED BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT "CLAWS" (DOWNLOCKS) IN THE LOCKED POSITION THROUGH THE GEAR POSITION WINDOWS LOCATED IN THE TOPS OF BOTH WINGS.  HE STATED THAT HE CONTINUED HIS APPROACH AND MADE A NORMAL, FULL FLAPS, LANDING AT 85 MPH.  HE STATED THAT AFTER 500-700 YARDS ON ROLL OUT WITHOUT BRAKING, AT 20-25 MPH, THE RIGHT WING SUDDENLY DROPPED AND THE AIRCAFT MADE A VIOLENT RIGHT TURN INTO THE GRASS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.  POST INCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT HAND (RH) MAIN LANDING GEAR (MLG) ACTUATOR ROD END FAILED AT ITS POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE RIGHT MLG ACTUATOR ACTUATING ROD.  THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT THE SPRING LOADED RH DOWNLOCK WAS NOT ENGAGED ON LANDING AND THE GEAR WAS BEING SUPPORTED SOLEY BY THE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, WHICH FAILED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.  INSPECTION OF THE RH DOWNLOCK ASSEMBLY SHOWED IT TO BE CORROSION FREE, PROPERLY RIGGED AND LUBRICATED.  REPEATED SWINGS OF THE RH GEAR COULD NOT REPRODUCE A FAILURE OF THE DOWNLOCK TO ENGAGE.

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.
