## Narrative

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

PA-23-250, S/N 27-7654005, N170TA, UPON LANDING AND ROLL-OUT ON RUNWAY 24 AT NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA AIRPORT, PA (PNE), THE AIRCRAFT'S RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR, RIGHT FLAP SKIN, AND RIGHT PROPELLER (STRIKE).  NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED BY THE THREE PERSONS ON-BOARD THE AIRCRAFT.  THE SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK CENTER ATTACH BOLT HAD SHEARED IN THE CENTER OF THE BOLT SHANK.  THIS BOLT CONNECTS THE MAIN GEAR UPPER DRAG LINK ASSEMBLY TO THE LOWER DRAG LINK ASSEMBLY.

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.
