## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING ROLL-OUT, FOLLOWING A NORMAL TOUCHDOWN ON GRASS,  THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR FAILED, FOLDING AFT.  AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT STRUT AND PROPELLER.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED  THE FORWARD OLEO STRUT ATTACH POINT FAILED, WITH EVIDENCE OF FATIGUE CRACKING AT THE FORWARD ATTACH BRACKET WHERE OLEO STRUT JOINS THE FUSELAGE.

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.
