## Narrative

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

ON LANDING AT THE BOZEMAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN BOZEMAN MONTANA N268CR VEERED TO THE LEFT AND GROUND LOOPED.  ON INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED.  THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS ON THE TIRES, AND IT APPEARED AS IF THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR HAD FAILED.  AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE PILOT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME HE HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE GEAR.  THE FIRST TIME HE CAUGHT IT BEFORE IT FAILED ALL THE WAY.  IT APPEARS THAT THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT IS THE GEAR IS UNABLE TO HOLD UP TO NORMAL LANDINGS.
