Turning base leg, to runway 13, lowered the flaps fully and set the approach speed to about 95 mpg. The winds calm and straight down runway. The plane touched down on the touchdown markers, once all three tires were on the ground, began normal rollout. Immediately, the right main gear collapsed and the aircraft jostled to the left, the pilot input right rudder, then the left main and nose gear collapsed.

- At present time, there is no solid or distinctive amount of evidence depicting material degradation or pilot error as a contributing factor to the incident.
