## Analysis

THE ACFT RAN OFF THE RWY & COLLIDED WITH A SNOWBANK DURING LANDING. THE ACFT HAD BEEN SUBJECTED TO PREVIOUS DAMAGE WHICHHAD NOT BEEN FULLY REPAIRED WHEN A MECHANIC RELEASED IT FOR FURTHER FLT. A BOLT (SLIGHTLY WORN, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC) WAS REUSED IN THE RT LANDING GEAR, THIS BOLT, ACCORDING TO A STATEMENT BY THE SAME MECHANIC, WAS INVOLVED WITH CONTROL OF THE FORE & AFT MOTION OF THE RT LANDING GEAR. THE RT WING OF THE ACC-ACFT WAS DAMAGED WHERE THE SPAR CONNECTS TO THE LANDING GEAR. THE ACFT HAD VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY. THE CFI STATED THAT THE LEFT TIRE WAS FLAT WHEN THE ACFT WAS PULLED FROM THE SNOWBANK. THE TIRE WAS LATER RE-INFLATED & RETAINED ITS PRESSURE. THE MECHANIC'S ACCESSMENT OF THE CURRENT DAMAGE WAS 'SIDE LOAD DAMAGE' TO THE RT SPAR.
