## Narrative

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

ON MAY 5, 2012 AT APPROXIMATLEY 1120AM CST, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ ACTING AS PILOT IN COMMAND OF N8873A , A BEECHCRAFT BONANZA, BE-35 WAS CONDUCTING AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT AT THE DALLAS EXECUTIVE AIRPORT (KRBD). THE MORNING STARTED OUT TO TAKE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (STUDENT PILOT) OUT TO CONDUCT SOME LANDINGS TO A FULL STOP. DURING THE THIRD LANDING, ON THE ROLL OUT THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO TURN HARDLEFT. AT THIS POINT BOTH PILOTS SAID THAT THEY TRIED TO CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT WITH RUDDER AILERON AND BRAKE. ONCE THEY REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON THEY TRIED TO KEEP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY. THE LEFT GEAR HAD COLLASPED ON LANDING. THE PILOTS STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL ON APPROACH TO LANDING. NO ABNORMAL INDICATIONS WITH THE LANDING GEAR WERE PRESENT. GEAR WAS DOWN AND LOCKED FROM ALL INDICATIONS IN THE COCKPIT. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF RUNWAY 17/13 INTERSECTION FACING NORTHEAST. BOTH PILOTS EXITED THE AIRCRAFT UNHARMED. AFTER LOOKING AT THE AIRCRAFT IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AIRCRAFT  HAD A PART FAILURE. CARRTER PIN WAS NOT INSTALLED IN THE CLEVIS PIN AT THE OUTBOARD END OF THE LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR ROD. THIS ALLOWED THE ROD TO SEPARATE AND THE LANDING GEAR TO COLLAPSE. THE PIN WAS RECOVERED AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE CARTER PIN HAD EVER BEEN INSTALLED AS THE HOLE IN THE CLEVIS PIN WAS FULL OF DEBRIS.
